A/N: So, another ToV fic! I think this is my first multi-chap ToV fic, but I'm not sure...
Anway, genderbend! This story actually got a lot more complicated than I initially intended, and I wasn't going to finish it at first, but I don't think it's turned out too badly...
Guestimation for this fic - 8-10 chaps.
Let the story begin!

"Hey Rita. You said you needed me for something?" Yuri asked as he walked into the girl's room in the castle.
"Yes. I think I've worked out a formula for better healing, and I need to test it out on you."
"Oh, um, okay," Yuri replied hesitantly, knowing full well that it wasn't a great idea to become Rita's guinea pig. "Why don't you ask Karol?"
"He's busy," Rita pouted, and Yuri laughed. He probably said that to get out of it.
"Okay then. What do you need me to do?"
"Just sit down there. You should feel something if it works."
Yuri sat down on the chair she had pointed out, gazing idly around the room as he did. She had certainly made herself at home, especially considering it was only supposed to be used when Rita came to 'visit' - which basically meant she was just hanging around with Estelle.
Rita murmured something, doing a few symbols, and raised her hand.
"Heal!" she said, pointing at Yuri. He felt a tingle run through him and shivered. A sick feeling started in the pit of his stomach, and he gagged. He hoped this wasn't what Rita had said he would feel if it worked; he didn't like the idea of wanting to be sick every time he was healed.
Finally the spell finished and Rita opened her eyes, suddenly staring.
"Oh..um, oops.." she murmured.
Yuri looked at her. "What? Didn't it go right? I haven't grown an extra head or something, have I?" he asked, briefly wondering why his voice sounded different then shrugging it off as an after-effect.
"No, not an extra head...look down."
Yuri stared at the floor and Rita sighed. "At yourself."
Yuri slid his gaze down to his body then stiffened. Then he groaned. "I wish I had grown an extra head now," he muttered. Then he looked at Rita. "Was this supposed to happen?" he demanded.
Rita shook her head. "I'm not sure where I went wrong...let me just check it over, I should be able to fix it."
"Damn right you should be able to fix it. If you can't, I will punch you," Yuri growled, hating how much more high-pitched his voice sounded.
Rita held back a laugh, instead snorting as she turned to her work.
Yuri looked down at himself again. So, he was a girl now, huh? At least, that's what the boobs suggested.
He shifted uncomfortably, hating how tight his clothes felt in certain areas while baggy at others on his body. The strip that revealed his chest in his shirt now showed off a whole lot of skin that he was glad only Rita could see. He'd just die if Flynn walked in right now.
"Hey Rita, could you help me.."
Estelle trailed off, staring at the female Yuri, and he groaned. Actually, he wasn't sure who was worse; Flynn, or Estelle.
"Hey Estelle. Rita did something, but she'll fix it soon," Yuri said with a wave.
Estelle went red as she stared at Yuri. They...jiggled. As she waved. The clothes were completely disgraceful for a girl to wear! Still, if Rita was going to turn Yuri back soon, she supposed it wasn't too bad...
"Actually Yuri, looks like this might take a while," Rita apologised.
...And now she'd just have to get Yuri some new clothes.
"That's okay, I can just wait..." Yuri began, yelping as Estelle grabbed his arm.
"You're going to change. Right now," Estelle said.
Yuri looked at her. "Why should I? If I stay in here, no one's going to see me."
"Yuri, when I said it might take a while, I mean a few-days-slash-weeks a while," Rita dead panned.
Yuri gazed out into the corridor. "Why can't I just stay in here? I don't want anyone else to see me like this!"
"Then we'll avoid the high traffic areas. Let's just get you some more comfortable clothes, please, Yuri?" Estelle begged.
Yuri hesitated, then sighed. "Fine," he muttered. The clothes were pretty uncomfortable...
As Estelle pushed Yuri out of the room, she glanced at Rita. "Thank you," she mouthed.
"I'll take as long as you want," Rita replied with a wink, and Estelle smiled before following Yuri down the corridor.
Yuri hesitantly walked down the corridors, glancing left and right. He was very aware of how feminine he looked right now, and didn't particularly want to bump into any unwanted people.
"Ah, Lady Est...Yuri?"
Ioder stopped dead as he stared at the female infront of him. She wore Yuri's clothes, had Yuri's hair and eyes, even looked like Yuri, and yet she was definately a girl.
"Oh, um, hi Ioder..." the Yuri-girl said hesitantly.
"It's alright Ioder, I was just about to get Yuri some new clothes," Estelle said sweetly.
"Oh, of course. I'll...see you around?" Ioder replied, watching as they walked off.
Yuri speed-walked down the corridor. He was not going to bump into anyone else.
"Estelle, what's the quickest way to your room?"
"Well, through the hall, but.."
Yuri pushed the doors open, walking in, then stopped. Estelle padded in behind him, looking sheepish.
"...There's a meeting going on right now.." she finished.
Yuri gave a strangled cry and turned, walking straight back out of the room.
Estelle glanced at the gathered people, giving a disgusted look to the ones who were drooling, and caught Flynn's eye. His jaw had dropped, and he looked at Estelle in confusion.
"I'll explain later," she promised before hurrying after Yuri, closing the door behind her.
Finally they reached Estelle's room, Yuri slamming the door shut behind them and locking it.
"I cannot believe this...Of course we're bump into Flynn," Yuri mumbled, curling up in a corner.
"T-There there, it's not that bad," Estelle soothed.
"How isn't it?" Yuri muttered.
"You could have been, er...naked?"
Yuri considered this. "Okay, yeah, that would have been bad," he agreed, sighing and standing up. "Alright, so are we getting some different clothes or not?"
"Yes. I'll just call the Royal clothes maker, she should be able to help."
"Another person..?! Ugh, fine, whatever."
It wasn't long until the woman arrived, not seeming fazed in the slightest that Yuri was now a girl.
"Alright, please step over here," she said, leading Yuri to the changing area. They went behind it, and Estelle listened to the vague shuffling.
"H-Hey! Where are you sticking that thing?!"
"I need to measure them. Please just relax."
After a few more minutes, the woman stepped out from behind the changing area. "Alright, I have the measurements for your breasts and what size top you'll need."
"And?"
"Size 24E, top size 16."
Estelle stared. "E?!"
"Yes. Yuri has the body of a very well developed woman."
"Huh? What does F mean?" asked Yuri from behind the curtain.
Estelle went red, covering her face with her hands. She was only a DD...
"It is the cup size of the bra. The smallest size is AAA, and it can go up all the way to Z, though the average size is around a C/D. The biggest size so far has been M."
"And it goes up through the alphabet?" Yuri asked, confused.
"Exactly. AAA, A, AA, B, C, D, E, F, G, so on and so forth. There are also doubles for each size."
"So is E big?
"Rather big, yes."
"Why do you suppose that is? I mean, surely I shouldn't really have any seeing as I was born a boy," Yuri pointed out.
"I have a theory, but I'm not about to indulge it in the presence of Lady Estellise. I'll be back in a minute, I need to go get some clothes."
Finally Yuri stepped out from behind the curtain, gazing down at himself. Thankfully, he had been presented with some clothes that were more boyish and to his general colour liking; dark purple top, black trousers, black boots, and a purple jacket.
"They look nice on you, Yuri!" Estelle said with a smile.
Yuri looked himself over. "Yeah, they're comfortable at least," he said with a shrug.
"Will you be needing anything else, Lady Estellise?"
"No thank you, Ayame. That will be all," Estelle replied, and the woman bowed before heading out of the room.
Yuri ran a hand through his hair. "Now what should we do? Flynn at the very least is going to want to know how this happened."
"How did this happen?!" demanded Flynn as he burst into the room.
Yuri raised an eyebrow as Estelle wow'ed and clapped.
Flynn spared her a raised eyebrow before rounding on Yuri. "Yuri! How are you a girl!?"
"Shout louder Flynn, I don't think they heard you in Dahngrest," Yuri muttered, rubbing his ear. Leaning against the wall, he sighed. "Rita thought she had an idea for a new healing spell, and wanted to try it out, so asked me. I accepted - stupidly - and then I got turned into a girl," Yuri explained.
"Rita's sorry, but I think Yuri looks pretty, don't you Flynn?" Estelle said.
"Yes, he's - wait, should we say he or she?" asked Flynn, frowning.
Estelle considered, and Yuri groaned. "Is that really important?"
"I think we should just say she. In case someone doesn't recognise her, and then if we say 'he' they may get confused," Estelle said.
Flynn nodded, "That makes sense."
Yuri waited for them to finish their little chat, getting more and more bored as time went on.
"Okay, this has been fun, but I'm going to head back to Rita's," he said finally, pushing herself up and walking to the door.
"Wait, Yuri! What if more people see you?" asked Estelle.
"Well, I'm wearing different clothes now and look like a girl. I can just pass myself off as someone else," Yuri pointed out.
"Ooh! We should give you a new name!" Estelle chirped.
"Oh brother.."
"Let's think...what does Yuri mean anyway?"
"Lily," Yuri and Flynn intoned together.
Estelle blinked. "Wait..isn't Yuri a girl's name anyway?"
"Yep," Yuri replied tonelessly.
Estelle held back a giggle. "You have a girl's name?"
"Please don't start that up again...it was bad enough down in the Lower Quarter," Yuri sighed.
Estelle coughed, forcing her laughter away. "Of course. Well, why don't we just call you Lily for now?"
Yuri shrugged. "Sure, whatever," he replied, giving a wave before he walked out of the room.
A/N: First chapter done! The title really got me for a little while, then I figured, meh. Spoilers in title, but probably not many people will work out what I mean, so whatevs.
And I laughed so hard when I realised Yuri was a female name. Seriously? Why pick that name specifically for a boy?
(Hey, new headcanon! Yuri's name was picked by Flynn's parents when they took him in because they originally thought he was a girl! Quick, someone write a fic!)
