Scorpio slowly reaches for the manager
Cancer: Scorpio.....
Scorpio:.....fine, but I'm not drinking anything
Aries storms off to a table with Scorpio following making sure she doesn't flip a table.

All three are sitting down, and Scorpio and Aries are using a 4th chair as a foot rest.
Aries takes a sip of coffee.
Aries: Aww, no cinnamon, that's messed up.
Cancer: Yuck! There's No sugar.
Scorpio: Yeah, no surprise there.
Cancer: Maybe they made a mistake.
