Beginning in the nurses office of Cinder Isle HS with Zach, Bruce, Principal Harpswelll and (unknown at the time) Nurse Belfast Infected and transforming. Belfast goes to the office to issue the evacuation of the school with Gavin and call the paramedics while the other 3 continue to transform. Zack's transformation to Zoey is nearly complete but she notices her crotch has yet to change or feel odd at all. Bruce however fully transforms into Bridget and his crotch and voice is the last to change. As the trio is loaded into the ambulance with Gavin and Shane watching from a distance Harpswell's transformation completes as well while one of the Paramedics records its final stage. Zoey however still maintains her male genitals and they even seem to grow somewhat instead of transforming into female organs. The Ambulances then arrive at the hospital with the initial 3 having reached stage 5 of the Virus. The Next Day Zoey is visited by her family in the hospital and three CDC doctors confirm that out of 150 cases of the T1-G1 virus so far only Zoey has maintained her original sex organs, but they are not sure why and there is no further progress on a cure or cause. Zoey is upset by this but is comforted by her mother.
4 months later (with most other events leading up to this point presumably going much the same as the main comic) Zoey, Shane, Gavin and Natalie are playing tabletop Age of Adventure at the Sweat Bread ski resort. Wanda and Dutch tell them to finish up and get back to their respective cabins. The friends say their goodbyes and head to bed. Zoey however can't sleep that night and decides to masturbate hoping to relax herself. She fantasizes about other transformed woman as well as Gavin briefly as she pleasures herself and her now very large cock. Unknown to her Natalie has been stirred awake by her moans and is now watching Zoey while Masturbating herself as well. Zoey climaxes with Natalie following soon after however Zoey hears her moan as she comes and Natalie turns over in the bed to avoid her seeing she was watching her and both drift off to sleep. The next morning Zoey finds her mother doing her make up for the day and asks if she can teach her to apply it as well. Zoey enjoys her first lesson and receives compliments from both her parents for how she looks. She then heads to her mothers room and borrows a nice outfit planning to flirt with Gavin and finally embrace her attraction to him. 
Meanwhile at the resorts hot springs Dutch and Wanda are enjoying each other's company and begin to embrace their feelings for each other as well. The pair then begin to undress. 
Back at Gavin's cabin, Zoey arrives to Gavin reading a book in the den and begins to flirt with him. Zoey mentions how she wanted to hang out with him alone, but Gavin is confused saying he didn't know Zoey considered him her best friend and saw her more as the loner of their group who mostly does her own thing. Zoey keeps flirting asking Gavin about his book but Gavin brushes it off saying she wouldn't be interested. Zoey gives up seeing that Gavin doesn't share her feelings (yet) or simply isn't picking up on what she's pushing. She leaves embarrassed and meets Natalie outside. Seeing her upset Natalie Suggests they go back to the cabins and have an ice cream sundae breakfast to cheer her up. Zoey agrees and the two head back to the cabins.
Back at the hot springs Wanda and Dutch kiss and while they can't risk having conventional sex without protection due to Wanda's virus, they do get intimate in other ways. Wanda pleasures Dutch with her hands and breasts and then gives him a blow job. However soon after climax Elaine and Randy approach and call out to them. The two quickly redress and rinse off in the hot water however Wanda realizes she got a bit to aroused and worries she may have leaked a bit of infected fluids into the springs. Elaine and Randy enter the water and the four of them start talking but soon after Dutch sneezes a bit which worries Wanda, but Dutch thinks it's allergies. 
Meanwhile Zoey and Natalie are enjoying their ice cream breakfast and talking on the coach. Zoey admits to Natalie she has a crush on Gavin but tells her how he rejected her when she was finally being forward with him, and the two girls comfort each other. After a hug Natalie also admits back when she was Nathan, he had a big crush on Zoey, and she still finds her attractive and is turned on by her remaining equipment. Natalie then begins to rub Zoey's legs and give her a hard on which quickly leads the two to kiss. 
At the same time back at the Hot Springs Elaine is comforting Wanda on her strained marriage to Clarissa and Dutch being separated from his wife due to the quarantine. However, Dutch's reaction gets worse with coughing and sneezing, and he slowly begins to transform. The group all realize they've been exposed with Randy staring to feel ill and Elaine's curves growing very quickly. Elaine comforts Randy saying how she'll still love him as a woman and while she is angry at the other two for not being careful enough and cheating on their spouses she eventually calms down and understands their situations. The two-finish transforming soon after with Elaine and Randy (now Rachel) discussing a plan to reveal this to their kids and Wanda and Dutch (now Diana) agreeing that thing won't change between them. 
Back at the cabins. Zoey and Natalie embrace their attraction to one another and begin to undress and have sex. Natalie fondles Zoey's breasts and gives her a blow job quickly moving into vaginal sex. The two have sex for several minutes before Zoey finally comes inside of Natalie. At first Natalie is concerned about pregnancy but says she's on birth control but as she says this Zoey notices that her hair is transforming soon followed by her face. Within a few seconds Natalie transforms back into Nathan with both of them shocked at the realization. Nathan points out the only explanation is that somehow Zoey is the Cure and by having sex with her it reversed the effects of the virus on his body.
== Trivia ==
* The virus effects seem to be faster in this comic as Harpswell and Bruce both fully transformed before they reached the hospital in this version 
* It's possible the virus has affected Gavin differently as well in this variant despite being immune as he no longer has a stutter when Zoey talks to him. This may also be a reason behind his less engaged behavior with Zoey. As he does still seem to care for her but is simply ignorant of her flirting.
* Due to Dutch transforming before he could have vaginal sex with Wanda, Wanda will not get pregnant with Dutch's children in this version. 
* As of Volume 1 it is unclear if Nathan is now susceptible to reinfection and/or if his semen may carry the cure now as well.
