Funny thing was, I was drinking caffiene while writing this. I had so many spelling mistakes...
"I swear...that new kid is always drinking out of that flask. It's pretty suspicious..."
A trooper took a massive gulp out of his coffee and breathed out. His companion (no coffee for him, he claimed he was anything-but-tea-intolerant) held his warm jasmine tea in his hands, attempting to maintain at least a little bit of warmth on a chilly day. The coffee-inhaling trooper pointed to the small yet energetic young trooper in the corner of the cafeteria, who was now indeed pulling out his personal flask and downing nearly the entire contents. The young trooper stood shock-still for a moment before replacing the bottle and turning around to skip happily out of the lunch room, singing a rather familiar tune.
"See what I mean?" the trooper took another gulp of coffee. "Suspicious right?"
"I think you should leave him alone Bob." the tea trooper droned, obviously uninterested.
"But..."
The trooper sipped his tea and shook his head. "No buts. Leave him alone, he's not doing anything wrong except for being a doom-ball of energy."
"Lord Vader's not going to appreciate that." Bob remarked.
"Probably not..." came the answer.

...
With a boom, Vader slammed the door to his chambers closed, the nearby gaurd flinching and trembling as the dark sith passed him. Luck was on the gaurd's side and Vader payed no mind to him and merely stormed down the hall in the most menacing manner. Vader was having a bad day...and everyone in the whole starship knew the basic routine of the day.
Sit up. Shut up.
..and look as miserable as possible.
Everybody knew this, it was the number one rule troopers learned in "Being a Sith's Minion for Dummies."
Except for one...
The young trooper, unaware of the dangerous atmosphere, bounced up and down the stairs in a fit of happiness. One gaurd pulled him to the side and hissed to ask if he was sane. The trooper merely slipped out of the man's grasp, skipping further up the stairs, not realizing that Vader was heading down the stairs at the exact same moment. The gaurd waved his hands in panic , trying to ward him away from the impending danger but the small minion didn't seem to notice.
Vader was storming down the hallway, extinguishing the lights one by one with his opressing darkness when he saw something that irritated him. There was one of his army skipping and humming up the stairs. Vader prepared himself to punish the youngster when he saw the boy halt and pull out his flask. Vader could clearly see he was anticipating the drink in the flask so the Sith lord swooped down on him and grabbed it from the boy's hands. In front of him, Vader downed the rest of the flask in seconds but gagged and threw the flask down in fury, spitting in vain.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Vader demanded, hacking, "THAT WAS PUTRID!"
The trooper smiled up at him with innocent wide eyes. "Sir?"
"TELL ME INCOMPETENT YOUTH!" Vader screamed, feeling funny, a small shiver went through his body. Then, the Sith Lord felt his body go through this course of elation before beggining to bounce up and down.
"W-W-W-H-A-T I-I-IS HA-P-P-P-EN-ING?!" Vader tried to speak while bouncing.
The young trooper giggled. "Sir, I'm naturally lacking in energy so that was my pure caffiene extract."
The words sunk in slowly to Vader's mind before he began to smile inside his helmet and a song slowly came to mind.
"He's lost it..." Bob commented to his tea-drinking friend.
His companion watched Vader skip across the cafeteria singing "It's a Small World After All".
"You're absolutely correct." he commented. Then he took a swig out of a young trooper's flask.
Liked it? Then Review! Cause they're like caffiene to me!
More ideas please!
