A non-canon alternate retelling of Earning Those Tips where Julia can't come to Phoebe's rescue so she ends up having to confess the truth to Ian instead.
Beginning roughly where Episode 8 of Earning those Tips starts off Phoebe is stuck at dinner with Ian while Tiffany pushes her to be more flirty all while trying to get under her skin by being flirty with Gerald herself. Forced to comply Phoebe plays along and once Tiffany leaves she tries to get through the rest of the date with Ian fast. She texts Julia but Julia can't come to her rescue so Phoebe is forced to continue the date. Once they finish dinner and Ian asks about a second date Phoebe says how he wouldn't be interested in her for real, calls Tiffany out on her trick and reveals the truth to him. Phoebe explains how she is actually his friend Philip and how he cross dressed to get the Job at Toucan's but when Tiffany found out she tricked her into this surprise date and forced her to be flirty with Ian as she now saw Philip as a low life just doing something degrading for money. Ian is shocked but agrees that Tiffany went too far just to have a messy break up with Philip so he offers her his spare room for a few days. The two rush to Tiffany's apartment to get a few things quickly and then head to Ian's for the night. Ian is still not sure what to make of the whole situation but when Phoebe starts to undress to turn in for the night he is enthralled by her body despite her not being a real woman. Ian sneaks a few extra peaks at Phoebe as she undresses and then wishes her goodnight.
The next morning Philip wakes up with all his swelling gone but he quickly gets up and starts to reinject himself as he has a shift in a few hours. Ian walks in while he is injecting the Sili-Gel into his/her breasts and blushes as he watches her change and grow curvier. Ian also mentions he thought there was a Cream for Sili-Gel and is surprised Philip is using the injections, but Philip claims he's only ever found the Injection version. Ian and Philip (Now Phoebe again) both seem to enjoy watching and putting on a show and both start to develop an attraction to one another despite them both technically being guys. Phoebe finishes getting ready yet wonders to herself if she should try something with Ian unsure of her new feelings. The two have breakfast together and Ian agrees to call Tiffany and help arrange to get the rest of Philip's things from her so the two don't have to face each other again. Ian also offers her a chance to move in there as his roommate for as long as she needs, and Phoebe gleefully accepts. Phoebe leaves for work and once she's gone Ian who's been aroused by seeing her change earlier masturbates to the idea of him and her having sex and is extremely turned on by the idea. After he finished Ian calls Tiffany about getting Philips stuff. Tiffany, who has just woken up from a night with Gerald, starts to ask about Ian and Phoebe and hint about the truth not realizing that Ian already knows. Ian remains calm intending not to give her any satisfaction and insists their personal relationship and working one are separate and he intends not to let her break up with Philip end his friendship with him. Tiffany agrees to put all of Philips things in trash bags and leave them for Ian to pick up for him. Ian agrees and hangs up angry at how nasty Tiffany is about the situation.
Later at Toucan's Phoebe is waiting on a table and one rude and rather provocative customer gets a bit too forward and handsy with her. She goes to the back and vents about it to Julia who is surprised it's taken her this long to get such a customer as they tend to be a common occurrence at the bar from time to time. Julia thinks to herself about how to bring up the fact that she's figured out that Phoebe is actually a guy named Philip crossdressing for the job but doesn't feel it's a good time. Hours later at closing time the girls leave together and wish each other goodnight but once Julia leaves Phoebe is approached by the customer from earlier and he gets even more provocative and pushy. Phoebe at first tries to politely reject his forthcomings but he gets more aggressive and says she's being rude to a big tipper and regular customer to the Bar. Phoebe get mad witch just stirs the situation further. Ian arrives before things escalate too far and scares the guy off. Phoebe is shaken as this was her first encounter with that kind of situation and Ian comforts her as the two head home.
Back at the apartment Phoebe undresses back to Philip but is still stuck with the Sili-Gel Curves for a few hours. He goes to the shower to calm down and blow off some steam for the night. Once he showers, he begins to think about thanking Ian by offering him another date with Phoebe and his thoughts turn romantic and sexual. He begins to fantasize about Ian in the shower and even goes as far as to finger himself and Masturbate to the thought. When he calls out at Climax however Ian bursts in thinking he fell or something. At first Philip is shy and hides himself but after Ian apologizes and gets him a robe, he starts to get a bit more open with him and the two start to admit they have an attraction to one another. While Ian says he likes girls and isn't gay he also stresses that he feels what makes a girl is not so binary as most people think and after a brief talk the two agree to try a proper date and see where it takes them, and they kiss.
The next day after Phoebe gets off work Ian has brought all of Philips belongings from Tiffany's as promised. Phoebe is upset Tiffany put everything in trash bags just as an insult to her but is still glad to be done with her. Phoebe also finds a note from Tiffany on one bag saying how she's added a few of her girl cloths she wanted to get rid of sarcastically wishing Phoebe luck with her new life. Though still insulted Phoebe likes the idea of having more girl cloths to experiment with and picks out a dress to wear to go out with Ian that night. After she gets dressed the two go to the Mall where Ian points out a store that sells Sili-Gel in cream form witch Phoebe is excited to get so she doesn't have to inject anymore. As Phoebe goes to buy the cream Ian goes to the food court and orders them both a Bubble Tea. Phoebe arrives soon after and the two have a pleasant time talking with each other. While they both agree to let things flow naturally and not jump right into calling this a relationship, they both also admit they enjoy each other's company and want to keep going. They both then joke about how Tiffany had hoped to cause a scene and put Philip in a bad light but instead ended up playing Cupid for the two of them.
The couple returns home soon after and begins to take things further. Ian kisses and massages Phoebe and Phoebe offers to try and give him a blow job. Phoebe does a good job despite it being her first time but can't do it for too long. Ian than promises not to take things any further than what she's comfortable with. Phoebe is open to the idea of taking things all the way however after she enjoyed the feeling of fingering herself so much and is willing to try Anal with Ian so long as they take it slow. Ian promises to be gentle and to help Phoebe prepare he gives her a set of butt plugs he bought at the mall, and she agrees to try one to help stretch out and prepare for Ian. The two continue a bit of foreplay for a while longer with Ian sucking Phoebe's nipples and fondling her breasts. After so long Phoebe agrees she's ready to take the next step and Ian removes the plug and enters her slowly. The two take it slowly but have very satisfying sex and end up climaxing at the same time. After the two take a breath they both agree to try an official relationship and that they've both developed feelings for each other. Despite the odd circumstances that brought them together Ian and Phoebe both feel they may work out for each other and they both kiss.
