A/N: Okay, this is my first fanfic, so please don't kill me if it sucks. I would very much appreciate constructive criticism, but if all you'll do is flame me, then I will now ask you to please click that button on your browser that says 'Back', and find something else to read. Thank you.
Summary: After angering an elf witch, Zelos is cursed to turn into a girl every time his name is spoken. What will happen to him when Sheena figures this out? And when he finds out he's not alone in this…Rated T just to be safe.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia, Zelos, Yuan, or any of the TOS characters; Namco does. But the two mentioned above are Honorary Members of my Minions Club. ;
Zelos's POV:
How did this happen! How did I mysteriously change into the most beautiful creature this world has ever known? Though this is a fortunate event, I cannot help but be a bit fazed that I don't know how this happened…Hmm…let me think back on this…
Flash back!
"Please Diana! Don't kill me! I'm too beautiful to die!"
The elf's eyes blazed in anger, "Do not attempt to appeal to me! I saw you kiss that other girl after you had asked that other girl to go out with you! And that was after you had promised yet another girl some children! I cannot tolerate such activity coming from the Chosen, no less!"
Zelos was about to correct her as he was the former Chosen, but decided not to as she was already mad as hell. Diana raised her staff as light began to surround it, "Any last words, philanderer!"
To her surprise, he reached into his pocket and held out a letter, "Tell the addressee of this letter that I love her beyond any other woman!"
As she glanced at the name on the envelope, her gaze softened a bit. Perhaps this overly-flirtatious man could truly love someone with all his heart. This changed her mind, "I'll tell you what. I won't kill you..."
End Flashback!
Oh...now I get it...sort of.
Zelos stared back at himself in the mirror, but not with the same sort of egotistical arrogance that he usually did. His reflection was met by a mixture of surprise, lust (this IS Zelos!), and mostly shock. He slowly moved his hand towards the mirror and touched it, as though trying to prove to himself that this was not a dream.
Alas, it was not; for staring back was a girl who bore a great resemblance to him.
"Master Zelos! You have a guest; shall I allow her upstairs?"
"Uh-"
Zelos stopped when he heard his voice grow deeper again. He checked the mirror, and sighed out of relief to find himself back to normal.
I'm not sure whether I should be relieved or not...Man, Zelos get a grip on yourself! Hot or not, if you were female, you couldn't hit on anymore girls!
"Yes, send her up Sebastian!"
He quickly put any thoughts about this morning's strange occurrence out of his mind as the door opened.
"Ah, Sheena! May I ask what it is you came for, or was it something else you had in mind...?"
Sheena made a face, "Nothing like that, you pervert! I just came here to tell you the news."
"Hmm? What news?"
"Lloyd just received word from Kratos that he's coming back from Derris-Kharlan, and he wanted to know if we would go to greet him."
Zelos shrugged, "Sure. It'd be great to see the others again."
Sheena nodded, "Okay, I'll be waiting downstairs for you."
After she closed the door behind her, Zelos turned and sighed again as he stared at his reflection, the number one reason why I'm happier this way...
Zelos placed his hands behind his head as he walked beside Sheena, the filtered forest light sprinkling over them, "Isn't this great?"
She gave him a suspicious glance, "...what's great?"
Zelos flashed Sheena one of his famous lecherous smiles, "You...me...alone...together?"
Sheena turned her head away, "Don't get thoughts like that into your head! We're meeting Presea and Regal at the Tethe'alla base, and until then, we're spending any nights at inns in separate rooms!"
He shrugged, "Hey babe, it would save us money if we were to share it-"
"No! And that's my final word on it!" Sheena stalked ahead of him in a sort of tantrum.
Zelos sighed to himself, but didn't make any effort to catch up; She's been kinda moody lately...dunno why...I only tried to touch her twice today, so it can't be that...
He sighed again as he quickened his pace. Zelos had been wondering who to ask about this sort of thing, and decided it couldn't hurt to prod Regal for advice when they met up with them.
Meanwhile...
Argh...I can't stand it! Sheena fumed silently in her head, Every time I look at that damn Chosen's face, I... Unable to finish her mental sentence, she kicked a rock and sent it skittering down the path ahead of her.
It's not like I hate him that much...it's actually the opposite I think... She continued to nudge the stone as she walked, maybe I should apologize...he only tried to touch me twice today, so he's really restraining himself...
"Hey, Zelos?"
It was at that moment that a few different things happened at once. Sheena kicked the rock to the point where it flew into a nearby tree and ricocheted off it...straight into Zelos's unsuspecting forehead.
When Sheena realized what had happened and turned around to apologize, again, it was to find Zelos unconscious on the road behind her. What was more...he wasn't exactly himself. To put it more bluntly...he wasn't a he.
Quickly figuring this out in her mind, Sheena smirked to herself; I am NEVER going to let him live this down...
Where...where am I?
Zelos opened his eyes to find the customary inn room ceiling above him. The first instinct that crossed his mind was to check the space in the bed beside him, but when he attempted to do so...he rolled straight off the bed.
"Had a nice nap Zelos? Or should I say Zelos again?"
"Huh-?"
He stopped himself again when he heard his voice become higher than usual. He slowly turned to meet the gaze of a very smug looking ninja whose name just happened to be none other than Sheena.
"Taken a good look at yourself lately?"
Anticipating what she meant, Zelos leapt out of bed and blanched when he met the same reflection as that morning.
No...I mean yes...I mean no...I mean, AW CRAP!
"I've figured out how to work it..." Sheena seemed rather happy with herself, as though they were both little children and she had the only piece of candy. "All I have to do is say your name, and depending on what gender you currently are, you'll turn into the opposite one."
"Good!" Zelos mentally cringed as he heard his voice again. He knew some girls had higher voices than others, but his was off the scale, "All I have to say my name, huh? Zelos!"
Nothing happened.
Sheena smirked, yet again, "Ah...guess it doesn't work when you use it on yourself, eh?"
Zelos slumped onto the bed, Oh hell no...If I know Sheena...she's going to make my life a living hell...
As if she perceived his thoughts, Sheena cracked a very evil smile, "Welcome to hell, my friend..."
A/N: So how was it? I think I forgot to mention that if you hadn't finished the game yet that you shouldn't read this...oh well! There aren't any major spoilers here anyways...but I'd still recommend that if you haven't finished the game to return once you have done so. I'll be back soon, and please review! Free plushies to fangirls!
