Shit, I have a feeling of going to pee. Should I go?

.

..

…

Reluctantly, Joseph wakes up from his slumber, and gets up from the soft yet odd looking bed. Stumbling a little, he steadies himself up and tries to walk, and that’s when he realized that something is very wrong with his surroundings.

Wait, this isn’t my room. He looks around the odd looking furnishing that reminded him of those fantasy games that features prince and princess like those recommended by his Japanese cousin, Josuke, wondering if he is in a dream, and looks at something that looks like a mirror which shows him a reflection of a woman with long brown hair staring back at him.

“Wow! A long haired beauty! It’s rare to see someone like this at this modern age of time-”

Something is really wrong. The woman talks when I talk too. Joseph turns and the woman turns too, and when he raises his arm, the same goes to that woman. That is when he realized his arms and hands looked different when he looked down at them.

“Where did my muscles go?! I worked so hard in the gym- am I dreaming?”

When he slaps himself in the face, he shouts from the pain and he whines, “damn, this doesn’t seem like a dream if I feel pain like this- and why does my voice sound like a woman?”

Then he hears voices coming from outside, a woman’s talking about how it’s time to check on the queen, and he quickly turns to see a familiar face, though she is wearing odd clothing that looks like some sort of a cosplay, “Suzie?”

“Your highness! You’re awake!” The blonde girl comes and hugs him, and he smiles, “there there, I know you miss me, but do you have to cosplay for me to make up for me? And roleplaying while there’s another man here?”

“Cosplay? What are you talking about? And this is the royal doctor to check on your highness.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Huh? Did they not get all the water in you out? Doctor, please check on her highness’s condition.”

The man nods and he gestures to a chair nearby and says, “please sit down, I will now check on your highness’s condition with your permission.”

He quickly sits down and he tilts his head to the side when the doctor doesn’t take a stethoscope out, but just gets some cloth and tries to read his pulse instead, “is this doctor a quack or something? Not even having a stethoscope?”

“Your highness!”

“And why do you keep calling me your highness? There’s no need for roleplay, Suzie. We both know that we should just get on with it.”

“What are you talking about, your highness? And get on with what?”

“Well, you know~ Sharing a bed.”

Suzie suddenly cries out loud and Joseph is surprised, flinching from her odd behavior and asks, “what the fuck Suzie? Why are you crying?”

“It seems her highness is healthy, but she seems delusional. I will prescribe a medicine effective to calm one’s mind.”

“Delusional? Me?”

“Your highness! Did you hit your head when you fell into the lake or something? I swear I will find out who tried to kill you by pushing you into a lake-”

“Lake? I swear to God Suzie, why do you have to roleplay and make this a difficult script?!”

The man who Suzie called as a doctor leaves the room, and Suzie grabs Joseph’s odd looking hands that look suspiciously small for a man and cries, “your highness! What’s the last thing you remembered before falling into the lake?”

“What are you talking about? I was pushed into the swimming pool by someone when I was flirting with a girl during my brother’s bachelor party and-” he suddenly feels odd when he doesn’t feel something between his legs as usual, and he get his hands out from Suzie’s hold and he reaches down to his legs, “odd, why do I feel like something important is missing.”

“What’s missing, your highness?”

That’s when Joseph feels one of his most important parts is missing. He looks down carefully and he sees a waistband of the pant looking thing he is wearing and pulls it away from his body, hand going inside and touches more carefully, making Suzie screams and says, “your highness! It is not ladylike to touch like that!”

“Where’s my penis?”

“Huh?”

“Suzie! Where’s my penis?! Are you planning with the other girls or something and performed a surgery on me to remove my dick when I fallen unconscious?”

“What are you talking about? You are a girl, how can you be having a male’s organ?”

“How can I be a girl?! I’m Joseph Joestar, and you know it! You’re my girlfriend, and we did it before!”

Suzie sighs and she shakes her head, “your highness, you’re Princess Josephine Joestar, and you’re going to be crowned as a queen after getting married to King Zeppeli! Did the nerves of the marriage make you imagine things?”

“What? Me? A princess?”

“Yeah! See for yourself,” Suzie walks off and comes back with a huge mirror, and she places it in front of Joseph, “look at yourself carefully.”

And again he sees the long haired beauty he saw earlier, and he keeps himself moving, only to see the girl mirrors whatever he does. When he grabs his own cheeks, the girl does it too. Impossible, does this mean, I look like this now?

“This is me?”

“Yes!”

“Who am I again?”

“Princess Josephine Joestar! Daughter of King Jonathan Joestar and the late Queen Erina. Your highness, you are a princess from the kingdom of Britannia and is going to be queen once you get married to the king from the kingdom of Naples, King Caesar Zeppeli!”

The realization that he might be in a worse situation than just dreaming hits him, and Joseph screams.

Chapter Text

Joseph Joestar is a name that every New Yorker knows. Rising to the top of New York’s property industry at the mere age of 20, he doesn’t really have much to lose. He has money, fame, and women being stuffed into his face constantly, even if he burns them through like lighting matches. Though lately he has been trying to settle down with only one woman after being nagged constantly by his brother Jonathan and his soon to be wife, Erina Penddleton, about marriage and relationships.

Well, since he is going to be proposing to his current girlfriend, Suzie soon, might as well take this opportunity of a lifetime to flirt and possibly, bringing a pretty lady home for the last time before settling down for good.

He tosses his car key to the valet parking guy and shoves some bills to him as tips, and he grins when he sees the venue tonight that his youngest brother Giorno chose to hold the bachelor party for Jonathan before he gets married tomorrow, “damn, that blondie has some taste. I bet there would be plenty of women inside.”

Entering the night club after showing the invitation he has on his phone screen, Joseph is being escorted through the place all the way to the rooftop, reserved only for VIPs and events, and he grins when he sees everyone in the family is already there, “yo motherfuckers, what’s up?”

“Language Joseph!” Jonathan reprimands but in a playful tone, while Josuke laughs and points at him, “what are you wearing, Joseph? You don’t look like you’re coming to a family event!”

“That’s because I plan to have a little more fun later,” he takes a seat beside Jotaro, his half Japanese cousin and wraps an arm around him, “yo Joot. How are you lately?”

“Been busy with my thesis lately. What about you? I heard you got a girlfriend.”

“Yeah. Gonna propose to her though. Jonathan has been nagging at me to settle down instead of fooling around.”

Jotaro looks at him with a sideway glance and he turns back his attention to Jonathan, who clings the wine glass in his hand with a fork and says, “attention everyone. It seems everyone is here. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for preparing such a nice bachelor party for me, and for that, I’m really grateful,” he smiles and Jolyne who stands up and wolf whistles, while her brother Jotaro pulls her back down, “and tomorrow, I will be marrying my childhood love, Erina, and let’s have a toast for a new addition to the Joestar family, cheers!”

“Cheers!”

While Jonathan and Giorno both drink wine, the rest of the family drinks beer, where Jotaro is just inhaling them while Jolyne seems to be imitating her brother, Josuke taking light sips since he is a lightweight, and Joseph drinking the whole mug in one shot. When the music is blaring downstairs where the dance floor is, Giorno brightens up and he stands up, “that’s my cue to go. I have something to do before I rejoin the party later.”

“Are you ditching us so you can go dance on the dance floor?”

“Yeah! Not fair!”

“Bring us!”

Giorno just laughs and he runs off before getting interrogated by his brothers and cousins, and Joseph shakes his head and grabs a tequila bottle, “who wants tequila?!”

“Me!” Jolyne raises her hand while Jotaro is shouting at Josuke who is hugging him after starting to get drunk, and Joseph is happily pouring the contents to shot glasses, “the last one to finish their shot has to go flirt with someone on the dance floor!”

“Not fair! That’s what you wanted.”

“Dude, life’s not always fair.”

And of course Joseph loses in purpose, and he grins, “I’m going to the dance floor!”

“Joseph, you-” Jonathan tries to stop his brother but he is interrupted by Jotaro instead, “today’s your night, so enjoy drinking while it lasts.”

“Erm, thanks Jotaro?”

When he climbs down the staircase from the rooftop, he grins at the numbers of women dancing to the sick beats that are being played by the DJ here, where he remembers vaguely as one of Giorno’s friends or something, and when he spotted a girl that looks like she is grinding with a few men, he moves as smoothly as possible to the beat and he gets to the front of the girl, “hey beautiful~”

Instead of answering, she just shows her interest in him by putting a hand on his shoulder, and wriggles her ass, making Joseph smirks at his success and he moves along with her. Soon they are pretty much grinding each other. The girl who is pretty horny pulls Joseph away from the dance floor to a more quiet looking corner, and she asks, “can I kiss you, handsome?”

“Sure~” she leans forward and kisses him, and soon they are making out until someone shouts at them to go somewhere more private, which prompts Joseph to break the kiss and asks, “I know a badass members area in this club, with a huge ass swimming pool. Wanna go there with me?”

The girl nods and they walk hand in hand to the exclusive area, where Joseph flashes his special VIP pass to the bouncer and they get in, which is pretty quiet compared to the usual dance floor since the music doesn’t really reach this far out. There’s a lot of couples here enjoying quiet drinking and chatting, and when Joseph is trying to find a corner where they can make out without any interruption, that’s when he sees a familiar blonde hair hugging someone who is taller and they are basically eating each others’ face out.

“Wait, that hair- Giorno?!”

And it seems Giorno actually heard that and he breaks the kiss, making his partner whine from the loss and the blonde turns his head to look at his brother with wide eyes, “Joseph? What are you doing here?”

“So you sneak out to have your fill of fun with someone we don’t know of-? Wait,” the brunet approaches them and he realized that the person Giorno making out with is Guido Mista, one of the DJs of this night club, “and you said you are not dating him when Jolyne asked you a week ago!”

“That’s before we confess to each other!”

Mista scratches his neck and asks, “so, is this one of your brothers, Giorno?” the blonde nods and he sighs at Joseph, “now, I’m pretty sure you came here for your own agenda, so leave us alone.”

“Tch, fine-” Joseph turns to see the girl he was flirting with is missing from his side, and he looks around the area to see her flirting with another man and he is pissed, walking towards them quickly, “hey! What do you think you’re doing?”

“Hmmm? But he seems more interesting than you though,” the girl winks at her new man and they try to walk away together, only to have Joseph pull the guy’s arm and shouts, “don’t you think it’s bad manners to go with another when I was the one bringing you here?”

“Hey! I don’t belong to you or anything! I’m free to do whatever I want.”

“Yeah! Piss off, not cool man.”

“Not cool? You’re the one not cool for trying to pick my girl!”

That’s when Joseph loses his balance when someone else bumps into him, making him spins his arms for balance until he falls into the swimming pool that is beside him and pulling the girl in together, since he was grabbing her hand earlier, and he realized that he can’t swim when he has a cramp in his legs. Panic, he tries to move as much as he can, but he can’t seem to stay afloat.

Fuck!

Soon he no longer registers what is happening around him, his senses close down on him.

Chapter Text

Suzie is staring at Princess Josephine and she asks, “your highness, you don’t remember anything?”

“I remember everything, just not this woman’s memories.”

“This woman’s-?”

“Where’s the lake I fall into?”

“Erm, it’s right outside of the Queen Palace.”

She stands up and starts walking towards the door, and she asks with concern in her voice, “your highness?”

“I’m going.”

“What-?” she quickly follows after her and shouts in horror, “your highness, you can’t go out of the room without wearing the proper attire! Let me get you ready for an outing.”

“Huh? Isn’t this enough?” she looks at what she is wearing, which is a simple white dress and she shrugs, “this should be enough though.”

“No! This dress is for the indoors. Your highness is going to be crowned as the queen soon, so your highness mustn’t wear simple garments like this.”

Suzie sighs when the princess just looks at her blankly and she crosses her arms, “are you pretending to forget to avoid getting married? Now it’s just you and me, no other servants. I served you since we’re children, so I know everything about what shineginens you always want to pull.”

“Of course I can’t get married! I’m a man!”

Suzie facepalms and she pushes Josephine back to the room and she starts opening the closet, “I’m going to dress you up, then we can go out of this room for a walk. Maybe you’ll change your mind after breathing some fresh air.”

The princess frowns when she is undressed by Suzie, looking at her own naked body and shakes her head, “if only I get a girl like this, and not being in one.”

And Suzie gasps when Josephine starts groping her own breasts, massaging in a circular motion and giggles, “I got huge breasts too. I’ll pay anything to bury my face in these.”

“Your highness! You shouldn’t be so crude!”

After reluctantly getting dressed into a fancy looking dress, Suzie opens the door and announces to the other maids stationed outside, “Princess Josephine is taking a walk.”

Joseph walks out with Suzie by her side and around five other maids following her right behind, thinking about going to the supposed lake and he might be able to go back to his original body if he makes this princess’s body falls into the lake and drowns again just like how he remembers what’s the last thing that happened to him before getting into this body.

Sighing about what will happen to his brother Jonathan’s wedding if there’s something happening to his own body, he picks up the pace while holding up the long dress he is wearing. Suzie quickly chases after her and shouts, “your highness!”

“Where is the lake?!”

The other maids points to the direction quickly and Joseph continues running, and when he sees a huge stone that has two words ‘Pillar Lake’ and he asks, “is this the one?”

“Yes your highness!”

All of them shout when they see their princess run and jump into the lake, making a huge splash and Suzie shouts, “quick! Save her highness!”

“We can’t swim!”

“Go get someone that can! Quick! She can’t swim!”

Joseph opens his eyes while trying to float inside the lake, and he frowns when he doesn’t seem any different yet, so it might take a while to take effect? Or maybe he should get himself passed out to get it work.

Come on, just switch my soul back already!

His eyes widen when he sees someone dives into the lake. A man? He has blonde hair and wears odd looking clothes that look similarly like those historical roman tunics or something, and he swims closer to him and carries him.

No! Go away!

Joseph tries to push him away but as he has a woman’s body, he loses his usual muscles and can’t exert much strength, and almost instantly he gets to breath fresh air again, and he coughs from the sudden burst of air entering his lungs. He is dragged to the edge of the lake, and soon he hits the land again.

“Your majesty! Your highness!” Suzie runs towards them and she cries, “it’s my fault! I should have stopped her from doing such an act.”

“It’s fine. Are you alright, my queen?”

Joseph looks at the blonde man in front of him carefully and hisses at him because of how handsome he looks, where he might be more handsome than himself, “tsk, you foiled my plan!”

“What plan? Is your plan involving drowning yourself? You should get healthy soon so we can have our wedding ceremony carried out.”

Our wedding ceremony? So this man is the supposed king that is going to marry this woman? Joseph facepalms and shakes his head, “I can’t marry you.”

“Why? Our marriage has been arranged and blessed by his majesty King Jonathan. I couldn’t just say no to your father.”

When Joseph didn’t say anything further, wondering how to go back through the lake again later when there’s no one to shake his plan, King Caesar turns to look at the maidservants and shouts, “get dry towels for the queen!”

“Immediately!” some fluffy looking cloth is passed and Caesar himself wraps Joseph’s body, “we should get you back to your room and I will pass the message to your sister that you gained consciousness.”

“Sister?”

“Did you lose your memory or something as well?”

Suzie suddenly speaks up, “your majesty, her highness seems to be delusional since she gained consciousness. It could be she had a trauma of drowning that she temporarily loses her memory.”

“I’m not delusional! How many times do I have to repeat myself?”

“Your majesty,” a manservant bows and he says, “you have a meeting with the prime minister right now.”

“I’m going,” he takes a quick look at the princess and he gets up, and walks away without further conversation. Joseph scoffs and he gets up himself before Suzie supports him, “your highness! You shouldn’t be so rude to his majesty!”

“So? I don’t plan to marry him.”

“Your highness! We should probably get back to your room and warm you up.”

Joseph decides to think more of a concrete plan later, as now he has a migraine coming at him.
