It was mid morning as EDI was walking out of the observation deck with her dress on her way to the bridge. The air around her was cool to the touch. Perhaps Engineer Adams lowered the temperature to conserve power. Heading to the elevator, she bumped into Jacob who was heading up the elevator as well.

"Excuse me, Ms. Normandy." said Jacob, politely as he pressed the panel to the crew deck.

"Ms. Normandy?" asked EDI, whom had a puzzled yet quite curious grin. " I do appreciate you calling me with proper grammar but I am not Ms. Normandy, I don't even have a real last name."

"That's why I called you that, I saw it fitting that you be called Ms. Normandy, EDI, because you were the ship not too long ago, so I though it only be proper to call you that if it is inappropriate I'll stop and tell the others to as well."

"No, no, I do feel that it is a nice name to have, seeing as I will soon need a full name now that I am human. Since Shepard is willing to pay me like everyone else, thank you." She thought to herself, 'Ms. EDI Normandy, I like it' and with that the two arrived at the crew deck where they departed ways, Jacob was heading to Kasumi's table where she was enjoying a cup of coffee, still in wearing her hood with her eyes unexposed.

While EDI headed to the bridge where Shepard and Jeff were talking amongst each other, she had a deep feeling of embarrassment, what if Jeff was laughing about her? Thinking this, she began to blush again, she was annoyed how every time she felt the pressure and anxiety when looking or thinking of Jeff she would blush. She takes a deep breath which Kasumi and Jacob and a few others in the mess saw and began to watch as she walks slowly but confidently to the bridge. The soft giggles and quiet comments in the back ground tell of how fast word get spread about EDI's and joker's relationship even if EDI denied it every time, everyone knew it was true. In the back Kasumi whispered to Jacob something which made him laugh.

"Hey our little girl's growing up so fast!"

"Hell ya, she's becoming a woman in no time." whispered the two as they chuckled quietly as they attentively watched as EDI neared the bridge. She was only several yards from Shepard and Joker. As Shepard turned around to see EDI, nervously pulling at her hair and placing her arm behind her back. Which he noticed as a obvious habit of anxiety as he motioned her to the cockpit. Which Joker noticed and turned around as he did so his eyes widen as he gazed upon EDI, but he did not know that at the time. He whispered to Shepard who told him.

"Just wait Joker, She'll tell you all you need to know." he then motioned EDI to his side where he held her hand and introduced her.

"Welcome Ms. Normandy, this is Jeff, you know him already, you will be stationed here from now on." said Shepard who's last comment made Jeff sink into his seat like a plate of melted jelly. Which made EDI giggle a little and warmly blush as they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you again, Jeff." said EDI as she placed on her now famous smile.

"Ah, Ah, glad to meet you, Ms. Nor-Normandy. you seem familiar but I can't lay my finger on it someone with your beauty I would have remembered." Joker's charming comment made EDI giggle a little as he turned to Shepard. "Will you excuse me, I have to talk to the commander?" with that she smiled and went to the other corner of the room. She attentively watched Jeff as he argued with Shepard quietly.

"Commander! Are you crazy, who is she? You know I get easily distracted, I already have my hands full with EDI and now this Ms. Normandy, what is going on?"

"Calm down, Joker, that's what I wanted to tell you, Ms. Normandy is not just your new co-pilot, or a replacement, she is EDI, take a closer look."

"EDI?"

"Yes, Jeff?"

"You have a body how is that? I mean what happ-?"

"I'll leave you alone for a bit, EDI, you can tell him what happened, right?"

"Yes, Shepard, I will inform Jeff of my current status with this new platform." said EDI as Jeff just stared at EDI in his chair, dumbfounded as Shepard left the bridge locking the door behind him. He walked up to Kasumi and Jacob and a few others who with eager eyes stared at Shepard wanting to know what happened.

"Shepard, What happened what did Jeff feel when EDI walked up to him?" asked Kelly who was standing behind Jacob.

"Ya, Shepard, what did Jeff say?" requested Jacob as Shepard raised his hands to quiet the ever growing crowd of onlookers.

"Now, now, everyone just calm down. As I had finished telling Joker of a funny story back when I was on the Citadel, EDI walked up to us. I motioned her to my side when jeff stole a glance at her. Let's just say he'll be a little distracted from now on. I ordered EDI to be Jeff's new co-pilot." That last part made everyone laugh hysterically, and awe at, seeing EDI and Jeff in the same room talking and laughing together now that EDI had a body was going to be priceless.

On the bridge, EDI had just finished explaining the whole body swap with Jeff as he began to recap.

"So, EDI, you're telling me that you were transferred into the same merc who Shepard and I found last night?"

"That is correct, Jeff. I see this new opportunity for our current working relationship to expand farther." Hearing EDI say that nearly made Jeff fall out of his seat.

"Wait, what are you saying? Are you asking that you and I shou-?"

"Yes, Jeff I do believe it is time for us to go have what humans call a " date"."

"Well, EDI, I don't know what to say, I mean I would love to, but... I don't know, it is just too soon EDI."

"Oh, I am sorry Jeff, I did not mean to make you feel uncomfortable, I-". She cut herself off as she choked in a soft sob as she turned away from him.

Joker looked at her, feeling guilty in making her cry which she had no idea she could even do so.

"EDI, no, don't cry, I-I just need to get used to your new body is all." he walks behind her and holds her shoulders with a soft gentle grasp. "Listen, maybe tonight, you and I could just go out on the beach for a bit. What do you say?"

EDI turns around, she was blushing this time and placing a hand on his shoulder. " I would like that Jeff, thank you." saying that the two hugged. As if on cue the doors unlocked and the group of onlookers behind it saw EDI and Jeff hugging as they turned to see EDI resting her soft head on Jeff's shoulders with a sweet smile on her face, her hair delicately hanging down still in its natural curly shape. A roar of awes and a chorus of giggles erupted from the group now including Garrus and Tali who both had each other in their arms. Even Zaeed, the rough, cold, mercenary felt a little smirk shine on his face as he watched them. Seeing the group looking at them he pulls away from EDI and scratches his head.

"Uh, EDI, well I should get to work now I'll talk to you later ok?

"Sure thing, Mr. Pilot man." said EDI almost in a seductive purring tone as she strutted down the ramp and high-fived Kasumi and Kelly. The group dispersed as Kelly, Kasumi, and Tali walked EDI to the mess hall, It was lunch time and EDI was getting hungry.

"EDI? Are you alright?" laughed Tali as they walked to the mess hall.

"Of course I am Tali. I just accepted a "date" with Jeff tonight." Hearing that, the two other girls awed at EDI and laughed.

Where are you two going?" asked Kelly as she pressed the elevator to the mess hall.

"We are going to the beach, just the two of us, alone, which according to my previous scans of extranet articles is key to a intimate encounter."

"wait, wait, wait, EDI, your saying that you want to have sex with Joker?"

"Yes, now that I have a body, I have began to develop these "urges" whenever I have been or thought of Jeff. Which I read need to be fulfilled occasionally."

"Well, EDI , let's just get something to eat first, then we'll talk about the birds and the bees."

"I do not quite understand, Kasumi, what does sexual intercourse have to do with avian and insectoid life forms?"

"It is an expression EDI, meet us in the mess hall, but before that, come up with a list of questions that need answering before your date, ok?"

"Very well, I shall return momentarily" said EDI as she was handed a datapad by Tali. The three other ladies headed to the food court to get lunch while EDI stood in the elevator frantically writing down every question imaginable. This was going to be a strange and enlightening lunch hour for EDI.
