He's a SHE!

Disclaimer: ... I OWN NOTHING!

Author's Note: Ok so this is a new version of "The Unknowing Darth Vader's Female Crewman". Sorry to those who like that story but I couldn't continue it. So I'm writing a new one where the girl does NOT become his sister but his lover… well in later chapters that is…. Hope you like this new one! XD I will be using bits and pieces of the old story for those of you who have read the old one. To those who haven't read the original version… Vader is not in the suit. I also refer to the girl as he when I'm talking about what Vader is doing. Vader is 17 years old in this Fic. Also even though he is close in age to Alex, Vader calls him boy at first because he does not remember Alex's name.

"Welcome to Lord Vader's ship, the Executor. I'm the Head Admiral. Follow me and I will take you to your post, boy." The man said to the new cadet who most definitely was not a boy. She, in fact, was a young girl who made herself look like a boy to get this job after being kicked out of her home by her parents.

"Thank you sir." she replied.

After walking down a long corridor they were at the ship's bridge. The Head Admiral turned to what he thought was a boy and said, "Your post is the ship's computer desk. Here you will check up on the ship's internal workings for viruses and malfunctions and you will either fix it if there is a minor problem or contact me if the problem is too big for you to handle. Understood?"

She then replied in her masculine voice, "Yes sir Admiral."

She sat at her post and began to work, but one of the commanders came over to her and asked, "Hey boy. What's your name?"

She said, "My name is Alex, sir."

The commander then said, "A fine name. I just wanted to warn you that Lord Vader is coming to inspect the bridge, so I'd be on the safe side if I were you. Don't ask him questions, speak to him if not spoken to, and do not ignore him if he talks to you. Oh and try your best to look him in the eyes when he talks to you, okay? I just want you to stick around for a while. My name is Commander Talkin."

She turned to him and said, "Thank you commander. I will keep that in mind."

Five minutes after the conversation with Commander Talkin, Darth Vader walked into the bridge and walked straight to her station.

"So you are the new Tech? What is your name boy?" Darth Vader asked.

"Yes I am the new Tech, sir. My name is Alex, my lord" she turned to him as she said this and then turned back to her work as quickly as she had turned toward him. Darth Vader looked at the screen and saw how fast the documents and files flew across the Holoscreen and then he noticed how incredibly fast the boy's fingers were moving. "You type pretty fast, boy." Vader said.

"Thank you sir, I took classes on my home planet." she replied.

"Commander Talkin!" Vader barked. "Yes Lord Vader?" Talkin stood at attention.

"After his shift take this boy to my apartments." Vader commanded.

"Y-yes milord of-of course milord." Talkin sputtered out.

Eight hours later Talkin walked Alex to Darth Vader's apartments, said, "Good luck." knocked on the door and ran. The door opened to reveal Darth Vader standing at least two feet taller than her, well at least one foot but she was intimidated by him.

"Good of you to finally come. You're late." Vader said forcefully.

"I am sorry milord. I have no excuse." Alex replied.

Vader went and sat on his huge comfy chair and motioned for Alex to sit on the couch across from him. She sat down and felt slightly uncomfortable because she had always had a small crush on Vader even though he was too high in rank and social status for her.

"I know why you're here Alex," he said coolly.

She looked at him in shock, "H-how could you..." she began but he interrupted her, "The way you were working that machine told me everything."

This is not good! Not good at all! She thought I'm probably going to die here and now! Vader smirked at the boy's fearful thoughts since he decided to prod his mind to find out what he was thinking.

"I was just kidding. My master told me that you would be coming here because you are a slave gifted to me by your parents. Or as you probably think that you are trying to earn money since your parents kicked you out am I right?" he said with much amusement in his voice.

She lowered her head in shame for not realizing this before. "Yes milord, that was what I thought." she said, her heart aching after what she had just heard and a tear running down her cheek as a result of the sadness she felt that her parents would do that.

After looking at the sad boy, Vader's mood had changed also. It became more sincere. "I'm sorry about what your parents have done to you and I promise you that I will not treat you like a slave and that you can do whatever you want as long as you have my approval. You can still keep you post on the bridge but you will only be there for two hours a day and the rest of the time you will be in here. Is that clear?" he said.

"Yes milord I understand." Alex said back to him smiling because she knew that someone cared for her, but her heart sank because what he didn't know was that she was a girl and as badly as she wanted to tell him she knew she couldn't because it would either get her killed or thrown off of the ship.

The next morning she woke up and walked to Vader's chamber's to see if he was still asleep and he was. Relieved she went into the fresher attached to her room and took a quick shower and made sure when she got dressed that her medium length hair was tucked tightly into her hat. Knock, knock. There was a knock at her door and Vader walked in.

"I see that you are already ready for work." Vader said.

"Yes milord. I woke up early so that I could be ready when you needed me." Alex replied.

"Fine if you're so eager to start working then your first job is to make breakfast." he said.

Alex walked into the kitchen and found the cabinet where the pans were and took out one she thought would be best to make eggs on. She then moved to the refrigerator and took out the box of eggs. Wow! The eggs are packaged the same way here as they do on earth! She thought and she let out a small chuckle because thinking that was just plain silly.

"Lord Vader how many eggs do you want and how do you want them cooked?" She asked from the kitchen. She only asked because there were only three eggs left.

"I'll have three eggs and I'll have them scrambled." Vader replied to her from his office.

After she finished making the eggs she brought the eggs to Vader along with a cup of coffee for him.

She set it down on his desk and Vader said, "Boy, do you have anything to eat?"

She turned to him and said, "Those were the last three eggs. I was going to try and find something else for me to eat after I served you."

She turned to leave, but Vader stopped her, "Boy...I mean Alex. Here we can split this. I don't usually eat all of it."

Vader used to force to pull a chair up for Alex. She sat down, but remembered she needed a fork and ran to the kitchen to get one and to get herself a glass of water. She ran back into Vader's office and sat down again.

They both ate in silence until there was on more peace of egg left on the plate.

"You can have it Lord Vader. You need the energy so you can deal with some of the more annoying crewmen." She said trying to hide a slight smirk.

He saw the smirk anyway and said, "Oh no you have it. You're growing 15-year-old boy. You need it more than I do."

She took the opportunity and said, "Okay if you say so." And with that she ate the last bit of the eggs.

She smiled and then stopped when she saw Vader's head bowed and his body shaking.

"Are you alright, Lord Vader?" Alex asked. He then burst out laughing and her already fast beating heart skipped a beat. What an amazing laugh! She thought, but then she began to blush from embarrassment because he was laughing at her.

When he calmed down he said, "Wow, I haven't laughed that hard in ages! Ha ha! Thank you boy, I mean Alex. I'm going to have to learn your name soon now aren't I?"

She giggled at his last comment. She was happy that she had a new friend, even though he thought she was a he.

Alex was sitting at her station doing her job for her second day of work. She was so busy concentrating that she was startled when Talkin tapped her on the shoulder she jumped.

"Sorry kid. Didn't mean to startle you. So what happened to you and Lord Vader?" he asked.

"I'll tell you but you have to keep it just between us OK." Alex answered.

"Fine." Talkin said.

"When I went to Lord Vader's apartments yesterday I found out that I was a slave gifted to Lord Vader by my parents. Lord Vader said that I can keep my post but I can only be here for two hours a day and the rest of the time I have to be back in his apartments. And this whole time I thought I was just trying to make a living for myself because my parents kicked me out." Alex told him.

"I'm sorry that this happened to you Alex, but I know that you are a strong boy and will get through this. Between you and me Lord Vader knows how you feel." Talkin said.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

Talkin lowered his voice to barely a whisper and said, "He was once a slave." After he said that they both turned back to their stations and went back to work.

About a half an hour later Lord Vader walked onto the bridge and up behind Alex.

When he tapped her on the shoulder she jumped and said, "What is it scare the new boy into having a cardiac-arrest (1) day!" She was held her chest where her heart was and felt it beating rapidly. She turned around to see a not so amused Darth Vader.

Her heart shot up into her throat and she said, "Um...Lord Vader...um I-I-I can explain...um I...oh shoot." She tried her best to say something but nothing would come out the way she wanted.

"Let's go boy." Vader said as he yanked Alex out of her seat. Though it looked rough to the rest of the crew it felt gentle to Alex compared to the way her teacher used to pull her out of her chair.

Vader had a strong grip on her shoulder the entire time they walked to his apartments.

When they walked inside he sat Alex down on the couch and asked, "What was that all about?" She had her head bent down so she didn't have to look into his eyes.

"Well Commander Talkin had come over to check on me and I was so engrossed in my work that when he tapped me on the shoulder it startled me. Then you come in and do the same thing and my heart was still trying to calm down from the last one." She said and looked up into his eyes and what she saw calmed her but also annoyed her because there was laughter in his eyes.

"You're teasing me." She said with a small smile that had formed on her face.

To her surprise he sat down next to and said, "Alex you are just too good to be true. I haven't had a friend like you since I was a little."

She looked at him in shock. She couldn't believe what Vader had just said to her. His friend? Vader's FRIEND! She never had a friend before in her life. She then started to cry right then and there. Vader sat there in shock not knowing what to make of this.

"Alex… Alex what is wrong?" Vader asked.

"I-I just never had a friend before in my life. My teachers were always mean to me and no one ever wanted to talk to me. I was always the outcast in my home." Alex said.

Vader looked at Alex with a sad smile and said, "Well now you have a friend Alex. If there is anything that you want to talk about you can always come to me."

He then gave Alex a hug and she said, "Thank you so much. I do have something I want to tell you…."

"What is it Alex?" Vader asked.

Cliffhanger! XD
