Belldandy stared unflinchingly back at the lightsaber. After all, some mortals had pointed weapons at her in fear or surprise before, but she had never actually been attacked.

"Oh," she said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the goddess Belld-''

"Quiet!" yelled Vader, "As far as I'm concerned, you are an uninvited intruder in my private quarters. Clearly you haven't heard of me, or you wouldn't be so calm right now."

"What is this man talking about?" thought Belldandy, "His profile showed a man who has done many heroic deeds against the forces of evil. Why is he threatening me?"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

In heaven Belldandy's little sister Skuld was chasing around computer bugs with her "debugging" mallet. She then smashed a particularly large one, causing Vader's true profile to come up on Yggdrasil.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Oh no," came a voice through the new earpiece Belldandy was wearing, "Belldandy, it appears that the profile you saw before only showed part of his life."

"Please tell me the other part wasn't bad."

"It is one of the worst in the history of time. This man is single-handedly responsible for the deaths of millions. He is in that suit because his body was burned up and he needs it to stay alive."

"We're all in trouble now." thought Belldandy, "Once Yggdrasil has given us the call and we come, we cannot refuse to grant him a wish."

Vader could see Belldandy visibly shaking. He thought, "Hmm. Perhaps she has heard of me and is afraid for her life. She has every right to be."

In fact, Belldandy was afraid, not for herself, but for all the other mortals who might suffer because she was required to grant this man a wish. If only there were something she could do. But there was nothing. She had to tell him the truth because First Class goddesses like herself were not allowed to lie.

"Alright," Vader said, "Come on out slowly, where I can see you."

Belldandy slowly emerged fully from the mirror, her legs and feet materializing and hitting the ground. It took all her considerable courage to finally stop shaking.

"Who are you?" Vader growled.

"I-I am the goddess Belldandy. I was sent her by the Goddess Relief Office to grant you one wish."

"And that wish can be anything?" asked Vader.

"Yes," answered Belldandy, "Hey! How did you know?"

"I knew because you never put up a mental shield for your thoughts."

"But, wait! How could a mortal probe my thoughts?"

"I am a Sith Lord. I can do many things others can't"

At that point, Belldandy threw up a shield for her thoughts, but it was too late. Vader had already found out about everything. He knew all about Heaven, Yggdrasil, the Goddess Relief Office, and everything else. Underneath his armor, he smiled for the first time in years as his brain went into overtime.

"Now this is interesting. It appears that their computer system is not very good about choosing between good and evil. It mustn't be, or she would be here right now." thought Vader.

Belldandy summoned up all her courage and said, "Well hurry up then, mortal. I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day." She was hoping she could push him into making a wish that was not fully thought out, thus allowing her to interpret it as something harmless. Unfortunately for her, Vader knew better.

"On the contrary, I believe you do. And you might be punished for lying when you get back to Heaven, assuming you leave here alive."

Belldandy gasped, she had lied on accident. She did have all day, or as long as this Darth Vader person needed to think up a wish.

"Oh no," she thought, "I violated the rules. I could be demoted for this, just like my sister Urd was."

"Alright then," said Vader, "It appears you'll be here until I think of what I want. I'll show you the guest quarters." He led her out the door and across the hall and opened a door.

"This is where I sleep?"

"Yes."

"Good night, then" said Belldandy as she shut the door.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"This is a nightmare," thought Belldandy as she laid down, "A disaster. What can I do? This man will surely wish for something very bad, maybe even the end of the universe. And I'll have to grant it!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Vader was buzzing with excitement when he got to his quarters. There were some many things he could wish for! But what did he want? Did he want power? Did he want Padme back? He was even a little attracted to this Belldandy person…
