Foxtrot

**Foxtrot** is a one-shot animation in SapphireFoxx. It was released on January 15, 2016.

## Synopsis

*“Fox is out and about doing his thing. However, he has an alternate form we haven’t seen before. Something a bit fluffier and more lively.”*

### Additional Info

Huh, that was an interesting cameo. I wonder if we’ll see more of the Different Perspective gang in animated form soon…

I had to triple check this, but did you know that the last time Fox transformed someone in an animation was New Year in a New Land? (Besides SFS Anniversary, but that was a remake). That was just over a year ago. Anyway, I did this animation for people out there who have come out like that to their family, such as myself and Amy, who played Franklin and Francine. I hope you all like it!

## Plot

A direct Parallel with the Animation Series "Too Good to put Down" and the Comic Series "Different Perspectives" this one-shot takes place at the same general area of Seatle and time in the SF timeline.

The Fox Statue appears in the skies above Seatle searching for its latest target. As it floats around trying to pinpoint a target by the name of Franklin he flies over a suburb street where Isabelle Arrington is walking along with Jennifer (who is in reality her ex-boyfriend Kevin who she transformed as a cruel prank) Jennifer demands Isabelle change her back, but she refuses saying she's having too much fun. The Fox then flies past the window of another house where Chris Young is in his bedroom sketching out a female figure that he plans to use his odd shapeshifting power to bring to life after picking the best measurements and features from other women he's already transformed into prior but is interrupted when his sister Jessica knocks on the door.

The Fox then lands in a grassy area nearby and says it's time to stretch his legs. Saying how he can't transform his real body he creates a magical construct of a common orange fox to act as his avatar while his statue form sits near a sapling tree close by. The Fox then heads towards a nearby home.

Inside the house a young boy named Franklin enters the kitchen where both his parents are preparing dinner and announces he has something important to talk to them about. At first his parents are worried and confused but Franklin directs them to sit to talk about it and they both do so openly. Franklin is very nervous and timid as he starts to talk to them. His father thinks that he got into some kind of trouble and reassures him he can tell them anything. As they begin to talk only the family cat notices the Fox enter through the cat door and stares down the cat as it hisses at him. Franklin reassures his parents he not in trouble but needs to come out about something that he's been planning for a long time. His mother reaches out concerned and lovingly and Franklin admits to them that he is transgender and wants to be a woman. The parents are both surprised but Franklin reassures them he's serious and explains how he's felt dysphoria ever since he was a kid and while he has tried to deny it for so long, he cannot ignore it anymore and that deep down he's really a woman. His parents are both supportive and loving towards him/her with her mother saying how she always had her suspicions and her father saying this explains how she's always been a bit different but they both reassure her that nothing will change the fact that they love her. Franklin is overjoyed that they accept her and asks them to call her Francine and her father assures her they will call her that from now on.

At that moment however both parents are struck by a white flash of light and fall asleep on the table. As Francine looks back and forth at both of them, she then notices the Fox on the counter across the room and asks what he is and what he is doing there. The Fox says he's here to help her with her little problem. Francine is confused and demands to know what the fox did to her parents, but he assures her they are merely sleeping and will wake up in a few minutes. His eyes begin to glow and his Mana Mark Appears as he begins to cast a spell. A blue mirror appears in front of Francine as her face reshapes and becomes more feminine. Francine is amazed at how she's changing, and her transformation continues with her voice becoming higher pitched and her hair growing long. The Fox tells her to look down and her chest expands with a pair of breasts. Francine is overjoyed at the fact she is becoming a woman and the Fox has come to grant her wish. The process continues with her body reshaping and becoming skinnier. Francine asks the fox how she'll explain what's happened to her parents when they wake up just as she becomes a real woman. The Fox tells her he will change their memories as well as the ones of everyone else to remember that she was always a girl. Francine tells him he can't do that and that she wants them to remember the truth feeling their acceptance of her for who she truly was too precious to erase and rewrite. The Fox disagrees at first, but Francine begs him not to change their minds and give her a chance to explain things to them. He agrees on the condition she does not mention him at all and that he still changes the minds of everyone outside of her family. She agrees and likes the idea that she won't need to come out to anyone else. Her transformation completes and she feels her new body is perfect just as she always wanted and thanks the Fox with joy. The Fox then tells her to cover her ears as he casts a booming spell to change the memories of everyone outside her home (later explained to be Mass Memory Alter). Francine has mild ear pain from the load boom just as her parents wake up. At first, they are confused as to who she is but then realize she's Franklin and asks what happened. She begins to explain how she's become a real woman and the family embraces and smiles that her wish has come true.

The Fox returns to his statue body and flies off as a Red Curse Orb floats out of Francine that he collects and flies off with and she waves goodbye to him out the kitchen window. The Fox flies off into the sky saying how the Seatle area has been cleared and thinks he should move onto Canada next but suddenly senses a disturbance and wonders if there is a Warlock nearby.
