Rookie Mistake

Rookie Mistake is a one-shot animation in SapphireFoxx. It was released on September 7, 2020.
== Synopsis ==
“Alistair is giving Chris a chance to prove himself and earn an apprenticeship like Isabelle and Ashley. Let’s just say that Chris doesn’t get off to a good start.”
=== Additional Info ===
If you can believe it, the concept of this animation is so old it was originally going to have Isabelle as the rookie. Needless to say, it took a while to get around to making this.
And while this was first proposed as a one shot, I think we can easily make this a miniseries to finish it as long as people enjoy it.

== Plot ==
Chris Young is pacing back and forth in his apartment with both of his sisters sitting on the couch in front of him. Chris called them over to ask their advice on a series decision he has to make but he is unsure how to start. Jessica assumes he's upset because he had a fight with Isabelle and tells him he should apologize no matter what the full story is. Christina playfully questions if he got Isabelle pregnant and he's nervous about being a father. Chris tells both of them that is not the case and explains that the reason he is so nervous is because Alistair is offering him an apprenticeship like Isabelle and Ashley. While he likes the idea of being trained in advanced magics and becoming a skilled sorcerer like Isabelle and being able to spend so much more time with her, he worries that he's not up to it. He explains that Alistair will only teach him if he joins their efforts to cure people of the Gender Curse around the world. While he does have his own experiences with gender transformations, he still worried that he may mess up a few things. Both sisters encourage him to go for it and share confidence he can do a good job. Chris takes their words to heart and agreed to take the chance. 
Elsewhere a young man named Brandon is at home playing video games when his girlfriend Alexis comes home. Brandon continues to play a bit while Alexis talks about her day at work. Brandon says he's been gaming all day and through the night since the game he's playing is brand new but pauses it to talk with her. Alexis then shows him a new padded bra she bought saying how it made her wonder what she would look like with "bigger implants". Brandon admires the size and says how he'd like a girlfriend with a "big rack" but says he also doesn't mind having one with a "joystick of her own". He then rubs Alexis' crotch giving her a hard on revealing she is transgender. The couple rub their crotches together and Alexis says she's really lucky to have Brandon. He then asks her what she wants to do tonight. Alexis says she needs to run out for a bit to meet a friend, but she can grab desert on her way back if Brandon makes dinner. He agrees and says he wants to get a nap in after gaming so long. Alexis leaves while Brandon goes to the bedroom. 
A while later Brandon is asleep on their bed when Chris Young appears in the room cloaked by his magic having arrived at the coordinates Alistair gave him for his first test run at curing a curse on his own. Chris mistakes Brandon for the target after he sees the dresser nearby covered in beauty products and Alexis's new padded bra on foot of the bed assuming that Brendon cross dresses in public and wishes to be a girl consistent with the Gender Curse's effects. Chris however can't sense the curse inside of him like he's done before. Not wanting to disappoint Alistair he thinks if he transforms him the old-fashioned way the curse may be easier to find and remove. Basing off the size of the bra and a few pictures around the room Chris begins to turn Brandon into a bomb shell blonde girl with large curves. As he's doing so, he sees Brandon get a text on his phone. He reads the text from Alexis, but the name listed is Alex which Chris mistakes as masculine assuming it's from Brandon's boyfriend. He then proceeds to finish transforming him (now her) and colloquially names her Briana. After the transformation is complete however, he still can't find the curse inside of her and he suddenly hears the front door open. Chris teleports away thinking how he can come back for the curse in a bit thinking it needs time to work its way out now that Brandon is transformed. Alexis comes in with a piece of Key Lime pie for Brandon but when she enters the bedroom and finds Briana there instead, she screams and demands to know who she is. Briana is confused until she looks down at herself. She tries to tell Alexis that she is Brandon, and she has no idea how she now looks like that. Alexis initially thinks she's lying, and that Brandon put her up to it, thinking he cheated on her so he could be with a real girl. Briana however swears she could never do that to her and after a moment Alexis sees her eyes are just like Brandon's and that she's telling the truth. Briana is freaked out and worried how she's supposed to tell her family and live her life like this if she's now stuck as a woman. Alexis tries to comfort her and assures her she'll help in any way she can as she has experience in such things. As she hugs her however, she thinks to herself how it's crazy her boyfriend got the thing she's always wanted and that whoever caused this must have made a mistake. 
== Trivia ==
* There are two bottles of Sili-Gel visible on Alexis' dresser which Chris assumes is used by Brandon to appear feminine. 
* There were originally plans to have a part 2 and 3 of this one shot making it a miniseries and giving the story a more resolved ending, but the plans were eventually scrapped, leaving the true resolution up to the viewers imagination. Though, as Chris is shown in later animations to be apprenticing to Alistair, it's clearly implied that he or the others eventually fixed his mistake.
