Title: Francesca’s Cooked-To-Order, Not-on-the-Official Menu, Impromptu Pizza Puff Panzerotti
Prompt:"So the gang works at a combo coffee shop-bookstore called The Two-Seven & The Consulate, with Welsh as coffee shop manager and Thatcher as bookstore manager - and solves mysteries on the side. Dief has a mysterious vest/license set up as something vaguely resembling an emotional support animal, though Fraser would never admit he needed any such thing, which allows him to hang around the coffee shop and beg for baked goods at every opportunity. And Fraser has a coterie of regulars who show up just to stare at him. He also makes sure all their leftovers at end of day go to feed the homeless. And when we join our heroes for this story, Fraser has just come back from vacation and discovered that his usual partner in coffee slinging has disappeared and been replaced by another guy who claims to be 'Ray' and also that they're dealing with a couple of arson cases that hit close to home. And to top that off, their usual cashier, Elaine, has been hired away and been replaced by Ray's annoying sister. What's a mountie to do??"

Notes/Warnings: Um. I had a really hard time trying to write something to such an incredibly specific prompt... to the point of writer's block, almost. Hopefully this captures the spirit of the prompt.
Summary: A customer questions the menu at Francesca's Cafe, provoking manager/co-owner Welsh's ire and manager/co-owner Frannie's attempt at compromise, as Fraser and Ray look on.
