===== Episode 1 =====
Philip is a young man living with his Girlfriend Tiffany but has been struggling to find a decent paying job. He is out to eat with his friends Ian, Aaron, and Carlos at a local sports bar called Toucans. The Bar is famous for its staff of busty waitresses in revealing and tight outfits. The Waitresses get a decent flow of tips from the men who frequent the bar due to their appeal. After a good dinner Carlos, Aarron, and Ian suggest making the bar their usual game day hang out spot, but Philip is concerned about affording it weekly as he's currently unemployed. The waitress comes with their check and between the 4 men she is given 45$ in tips alone. Philip is amazed and jealous of how easy hot women have it just for their appearance. Behind him at the checkout terminal he hears the waitresses talk about a new cosmetic product called Sili-Gel that temporarily increases curve size by injecting it into hips and breasts and how they could use it to boost their size and get more tips. Philip gets the idea to use it himself and cross dress to get a job there to earn big tips but quickly puts it down. However, when one of the waitresses claims she's made over 400$ in tips that day alone Philip reconsiders. 
A short time later Philip has found and bought several injection vials of Sili-Gel. Knowing his girlfriend is tired of him being unemployed and having no money Philip has officially elected to try and get a job at Toucans by cross dressing and enhancing his figure with the Sili-Gel. Philip is already slim and short, but he elects to shave off all his body and facial hair in the bathroom before he injects the Sili-Gel. Philp reads off the instructions and injects both his pecks to inflate them into the equivalent of DD Cup breasts and then injects his hips to give himself large curves. The Sili-Gel works very well and gives him a convincing female form and Philip mentions how it is supposed to last 6 hours until the swelling goes down. He then dawns some of Tiffany's nicer cloths almost ready for the interview. 
===== Episode 2 =====
Philip finishes Shaving and puts on a long black wig to complete his (now her) transformation. Using a few tricks from singing lessons Philip heightens his voice pitch and adopts the name Phoebe. She then leaves to interview at Toucans. Phoebe arrives and is directed to a table to wait for the manager Todd. As she sits, she overhears 2 of the waitresses saying how picky Todd can be and that they think Phoebe is a bit under his standards of cup size. Desperate for the job Phoebe injects two more vials of Sili-Gel into her breast to increase their size to a more eye-popping level. Todd begins the interview looking over Phoebe's resume but spends most of the time looking at her chest. After just a few basic questions Todd immediately hires her clearly taken by her cup size more than her actual resume. Todd instructs one of the other waitresses Julia to get Phoebe a uniform. In the back-room Julia questions Phoebe on her clothing sizes but as this is the first time, she's worried about women's clothing Pheobe has no idea what size she is which confuses Julia. She gives Phoebe a size 6 which seems a bit tight to her, but Julia assures her the tightness is correct for the skimpy uniforms the waitress's wear. Todd compliments Phoebe on her new look and instructs her to be at work next Monday morning. 
A few hours later Philip is back at home with most of the Sili-Gel swelling gone except his glutes seem to have maintained a larger size for longer than expected. Tiffany comes home and is happy to hear Philip got a job after she's had to work double shifts for months to cover the rent. However, Philip tells her that the job is as a waiter at a Steak house across town too embarrassed to admit what he had to do to get a decent paying job. Tiffany notices his larger hip size but can't quite explain it, so she lets it go. She goes to take a shower and notices the excess hair in the drain and assumes the difference she sees in Philip is his now bare skin. She questions him on it but he claims the Steak House requires it of their new employees. Tiffany accepts his answer but still finds it odd. 
===== Episode 3 =====
Ian, Aaron and Carlos are at Toucans for their regular night out, but Philip is working that night and hasn't joined them for a few weeks. Ian is complaining how he is the only one out their group who is still single. Phoebe approaches the table to wait on them but is a bit hesitant to wait on her friends worried they might recognize her. Nevertheless, Phoebe introduces herself to them and takes their orders. Ian is drawn to her and starts casually flirting with her not realizing she is really Philip. Phoebe tries to play it off and maintains her professional composure but is still a bit unsettle by the situation. Julia and Phoebe meet in the back at the end of their shift and Julia complains about her friends bailing on her for going out clubbing that night. Phoebe planned to go home and wait for the Sili-Gel to wear off but Tiffany calls her/Philip and says how she's feeling sick and came home early. Phoebe can't go home because she still has at least 4 hours until the Sili-Gel wears off and doesn't want Tiffany to see her so she asks Julia if she can join her out for a few hours claiming her friends bailed on her too. When they get off work Phoebe claims to live pretty far away so Julia invites her over to pick out a dress for the night. Phoebe reluctantly agrees despite never picturing wearing a dress. 
Back at Philip and Tiffany's apartment Tiffany finds a DD sized bra and as she is only a B cup assumes that the bra belongs to another girl and Philip is cheating on her. 
===== Episode 4 =====
Phoebe and Julia go to Julia's apartment to change and get dressed for a few hours out clubbing. In her closet Phoebe is in awe of Julia stripping in front of her. The two talk about what kind of guys they're into with Phoebe mentioning she's into blondes due to being enraptured by Julia at the moment. The two redress and then leave to go to a local night club. Once at the Club Julia asks Phoebe is she's a lesbian due to her eyeing her chest and butt so much as they were changing but Phoebe denies it. Julia leaves to get a drink leaving Phoebe alone. Unknown to her Ian is also at the club and recognizes her from Toucan's. He approaches and flirts with Phoebe much to her discomfort but to avoid too much as scene Phoebe flirts back a little until Julia comes back. However, as Ian is blonde Julia assumes Phoebe likes him and pushes her to flirt a bit more. Ian goes to get Phoebe a drink and while she's happy to get a free drink she is still offset by having to play flirt with her friend. 
Back at their apartment Tiffany looks up the Steak House Philip claims to work at and finds it already closed which she assumes to confirm her suspicions and that Philip isn't home yet because he's cheating on her. Tiffany then plans to confront and break up with him when he gets home. 
===== Episode 5 =====
At the Club Phoebe and Julia have enjoyed a few drinks from flirty men and they begin to get drunk. As the two talk Phoebe's swelling starts to go down which draws Julia eye. When she questions Phoebe about it, she claims it's just the effect of the lighting in the club. Desperate to avoid being found out Phoebe claims to have reached her limit and asks Julia if they can leave. Julia reluctantly agrees and the pair head back to her apartment. Once there, Phoebe's swelling has almost completely disappeared, and she rushes to the bathroom to try and stuff her bra and put her casual cloths back on to avoid Julia seeing her without curves. Julia still notices how her hips and chest look smaller and is confused but says goodbye to Phoebe as she leaves planning to change into her guy cloths in the car. 
Once Philip gets home Tiffany confronts him about him lying about being kept late at work and the bra she found that is too big to be hers. Philip tries to lie his way through it but in the end is forced to come clean when Tiffany threatens to kick him out. Philip takes off his shirt and begins to reinject himself with Sili-Gel to prove to Tiffany what he's actually been doing for work as she doesn't believe he'd really cross dress for a job but as he grows curves and becomes Phoebe again she is shocked 
===== Episode 6 =====
Philip continued to reinject himself and shape his body into Phoebe's again to show Tiffany what he's actually been doing for work. Tiffany is angry at him for lying for over a month and despite his assuring her he only did it so he could get a well paying job Tiffany berates him and makes him sleep on the coach refusing to sleep with him while he has a woman figure. Tiffany goes into the bathroom saying she needs time to process and think about the situation. Once she's in the bathroom she thinks to herself about how she now thinks Philip is just a low life who sunk too low for a job and what he's doing is degrading to women. She decides to end things but not before she teaches him a lesson. The next day she watched as Philip reinjects again and leaves for work still mad at him but claiming she's okay with him doing it just for work. After Phoebe leaves however she calls Ian who is her coworker. Since Philip let it slip that Ian was flirting with her and still doesn't know who she really is Tiffany claims she and Philip broke things off and that she and Phoebe are friends. Tiffany suggests that Ian join her and her new boyfriend Gerald (another friend who's been interested in her and she plans to ask out) on a double date claiming Phoebe is shy and she wants to help set them up. Ian agrees but is upset to hear about her and Philip. Phoebe continues her work shift and chats with Julia in the back unaware of what Tiffany has planned for her/him. 
===== Episode 7 =====
A week after Philip told Tiffany the truth Julia is talking to Phoebe on the phone asking about hanging out after work more often not realizing its Philip on the other end using his Phoebe voice to maintain his secret. Julia then mentions how Phoebe left her purse at the bar and asks if she wants her to drop it off. As that purse has all his Sili-Gel in its Phoebe says she'll send her brother Philip to come get it as he's near the bar. Julia then hangs up and takes the bag planning to meet Philip out in the bar in a few minutes. When she picks up the purse however a few Sili-Gel vials spill out and Julia assumes Phoebe has been faking her figure with them and that's why she saw her curves shrinking the other night. Julia then goes out to meet Philip but after just a brief glance recognizes her face and realizes the truth. Too shocked and still busy with work Julia hands over the purse but tells Philip to let Phoebe know she needs to talk with her. Philip leaves promising to pass on the message. 
A couple hours later Tiffany has Philp reinject and become Phoebe claiming she wants a "girls" night out with his female side to get to know her better and teach her how to act like a girl better. Phoebe reluctantly agrees despite not liking heels and a dress. The two then leave to go to a fancy restaurant but when they get there Phoebe is shocked to see Ian and Gerald there as well and after awkward introductions pulls Tiffany aside demanding an explanation. Tiffany says she's been done with Philip ever since the truth came out seeing him as a low life who stooped so low for a job that's degrading to women and forces her to go through with the date threatening to expose her secret if she doesn't play along and show Ian a nice time. Forced to comply Phoebe joins Ian and the two "couples" head into dinner
===== Episode 8 =====

A few minutes later, after Phoebe explains what happened, Julia agrees what Tiffany did was despicable. Julia admires how far Philip was willing to go to get a decent paying job and knows how life can be hard sometimes. Left with nowhere to go now that Tiffany will no doubt be kicking him out in the morning if not sooner Julia offers Phoebe to move in with her as her previous roommate moved out recently and she needs help paying rent.

== Trivia ==
* the Sports Bar "Toucan's" is no doubt a minor parody of the chain restaurant "Hooters", built around the same concepts. 
*This is the only cannon series to feature Injectable Sili-Gel as all versions seen after this are cream based versions.
* The SF Beyond Comic, Earning those Tips: Give it a Chance is a Non-Cannon Retelling of this story beginning around the start of Episode 8 but rather than Julia coming to Phoebe's rescue she is forced to continue her date with Ian and eventually come clean to him. Ian then ends up sympathizing with her and taking her in which eventually leads to the two of them becoming a couple.
* In Episode 9, Julia and Philip joke about other guys using Sili-Gel to look feminine and joke about a guy using it to play as a girl in a stage play, a minor nod to the next SF series focused on Sili-Gel use, Getting Into Character.
