"Come on, Alex. Can't you brighten up just once?" Lucas had just done one of his wacky facial expressions in a failed attempt to get Alex to crack a smile.

"And why would I do that? You know it would just make me a target." Alex shoved Lucas away just before he made another faulty attempt. "Assholes are like cockroaches, no matter how hard you squish them they just won't die...and this school has an infestation of assholes."  

Lucas shrugged, "I dunno man, I think it's just your attitude. I mean, I'm happy all the time, a complete wacko, and your best friend, but I am one of the most popular kids in our school."

Alex sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Lucas, you are a social phenomenon unable to be explained by science." He quickened his pace down the hall, sensing an approaching 'asshole'

Lucas quickened his pace in turn, "Yo Alex, what's up? The bell's isn't going to ring yet, no need to hurry." 

"It's not the bell I'm worryi-Ah shit." From an intersection in the hallway stepped out a dark brown shaggy haired boy with a face fuzzied with five o clock shadow and a torn up uniform due to disregard to the maintaining of the school attire. The boy looked up at Alex with eyes the color of raven down and grinned with sadistic delight, "Well if it isn't my favorite punching bag Alex, and it seems his ever present squire is accompanying him as well." All the other students in the hall stopped in their tracks. Everyone knew if Alex and Ryan met, shit was about to go down, and this time Ryan was bold enough to take a jab at Lucas.

"Well that's all nice and dandy, Ryan, but is really calling me out as well in your best plan? People's love of me surpasses their fear of you." Lucas smirked back at Ryan, thinking himself clever.

"And their fear of me also surpasses their's of you, so why do you continue this retarded crusade?" Alex's eyes were already alight with fury despite barely even being antagonized

"Isn't it obvious that somebody has to make sure you know your place? GAH!" Ryan keeled over as Alex delivered an underhanded punch directly into Ryan's gut with what appeared to be no provocation. Ryan hacked up blood, then stood up and glared at Alex with his own alighted fury, "You little twerp, you're going to pay for that-" a sudden ringing of the bell filled the halls signalling next classes were about to start, "Saved by the bell. You got off lucky this time Alex, but I will get you back later." and with that Ryan ran off for his class while Alex popped his knuckles, "I'll look forward to it jackass. Let's go, Lucas."

Lucas groaned but nonetheless followed, "Lets hope no teachers or tattle-tales saw that..."

Luckily when Alex and Lucas made it to the classroom, the teacher was out so they made their way to their seats in inconspicuous silence in hopes that if the teacher came in behind them they would hopefully be overlooked. As soon as Alex sat down a soothing voice called from his right, "And where were you two?" Alex turned his head to face the owner of the voice. in the desk next to him sat a beautiful teenage girl with long silky blonde hair, glittering emerald green eyes, and an unblemished face coupled with a toned and well-endowed figure that would stop traffic. "Nothing, don't worry about it Maria." He dared not look her in the eye, an indication that he was not telling the truth.

"Alex, don't lie to me." Maria drew her eyebrows into a wide V.

Alex kept his gaze averted and his mouth shut.

Maria frowned at Alex's obstinance then leaned forward to look at Lucas who sat to the left of Alex, "Can you tell me, Lucas?"

"Alex got into a fight with Ryan again, though there was only one time to draw one punch once the bell rang." Lucas answered immediately, bound to his code of absolute honesty.

Alex gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath to Lucas "Gee, thanks for backing me up "buddy"." Lucas gave Alex an unapologetic look as Maria's face started to redden with anger, "Alex! What did I tell you about getting into fights! You know you could get expelled if this keeps up!" Alex looked at Maria, spotting the teacher walking in and lowering his voice to a rasping whisper, "What do you suppose I do, let him talk trash about me and everyone associated with me? Have you forgotten he has called you a whore for going out with me on multiple occasions, right? How can I let someone who says such things about you just for associating yourself with me?"

Maria sighed, "Alex, I knew what I was getting into when I began to have feelings for you. What does it matter what he thinks, he's just scum who will get nowhere in life anyway, and you know he can't do any real harm to you anymore."

"It's precisely because he's scum that he gets on my nerves, assholes like him need to know their place, and I will beat it into his thick head that he is no longer in a position to treat me like dirt." Alex ground his teeth in anger at the thought of Ryan and his mocking gaze.

Maria shook her head, "They're just words Alex, you're giving him exactly what he wants." Alex grunted and didn't respond, opting to pay attention to the teacher's lecture boring it may be.

    The day passed, and Ryan did not show his head a second time giving Alex a feeling of triumph as he walked out of the school grounds. Maria was walking adjacent with him, their hands interlocked with Lucas tailing behind. "Weekend, you grace me with your beauty at last! I don't know what I'd do if this school didn't give us weekends, they already make us dress like Japanese school students," Lucas spoke aloud behind them. "Lucas, you know you enjoy the sailor girl uniforms you Otaku," Alex responded with a dry smirk with Maria softly giggling. Lucas grinned, "You know me too well, comrade! Oh hey look, it's Lyra." Lucas pointed forward where a girl with raven colored hair mixed with white streaks walked towards them with all the grace of a swan. She wore a short white robe that bore many similarities to a martial arts uniform, but much more elegant and ornate. "How nice to see you Lyra, and might I say you just keep looking more beautiful by the day?" Lucas grinned as the girl stopped before them. Lyra smiled at Alex and Maria. "Hey Alex, Hey Maria." Maria smiled and gave a little wave with her free hand while Alex greeted back with "What's up, Lyra?" None of them payed attention to Lyra's complete disregard of Lucas save the offended party himself. Lyra looked between the couple, "well I was actually wondering if any of you had seen Laura." 

Alex shook his head, "nope haven't seen her, there a particular reason why?" He slightly winced, he suddenly began to feel pain in his abdomen, he brushed the pain to the side figuring his abs were sore after his workout yesterday

"I sadly can't tell y'all the reason this time, it's sorcerer business." 

"Well we've helped you with such business before what's different this time?" Alex grit his teeth now, the pain in his abdomen seemed to be getting worse by the second, and was now nearly unbearable. Maria seemed to sense something wrong and looked towards Alex with a worried expression, "Alex, are you alright?" Alex nodded weakly, "Yeah, just a little sore is-URGH!" Alex suddenly felt a wave of nausea and pain wash over him causing him to let go of Maria's hand and fall to his knees with his arms clenching his gut. The pain continued to increase until Alex collapsed, all he could interpret as darkness swallowed his vision was Maria shouting the word ambulance...

Alex woke up to find himself in a hospital bed, his vision was blurry and his ears were filled with a ringing, and his body felt immobile like his muscles had not moved in ages and were now stiff from unuse. He weakly moved his head around to try and get a glimpse of his surroundings. he could make out an elementary school girl with shoulder length light brown wavy hair crying in someone's embrace. Alex knew who this person was immediately for no one person can so effectively break through his wall of callousness and cynicism as effectively as she could. The girl's name was Akane, Alex's cherished younger sister and sole remaining living relative. The person holding Akane in her embrace as his vision began to clear was made out to be Maria. Figures as Maria had taken over as Akane's mother figure since the death of Alex's parents. He turned his head to the other side where he could make out Lyra restraining a teary-eyed Lucas from assaulting at a balding middle aged man in a lab coat, who Alex assumed to be a doctor, out of disbelief and anger. Alex tried to say something, to get everyone's attention but all he could get out was a hoarse groan.

"He's awake!" Lyra called out pointing in Alex's direction. Maria and Akane raced to Alex's side. Maria then laid a hand on Alex's head, "How do you feel?" He could see the swelling in her eyes, she had been crying.

Alex finally regained the strength to speak "Like I was just hit by a school bus filled with Ebola patients. What happened? Did my appendix burst or something?"

The doctor stepped forward and looked at Alex with a sympathetic look, "I'm afraid it's much worse than that, son. You have been diagnosed with Masculosis, and only have a few hours left to live, I am greatly sorry."

A fresh wave of tears filled Akane's eyes which made Alex's heart ache, he promised Akane she'd never have to cry again after their parents died, serves him right for making a promise he can't keep. Akane embraced Alex and cried into his shoulder, "Don't leave me, big bro! You promised you wouldn't ever leave me!" Seeing his sister bawling like this was too much for Alex to bear, if Alex died tonight then Akane would have nobody left, but Masculosis had no treatment and a 100% mortality rate how could he escape this? No, he had to escape death, he couldn't let Akane be put in an orphanage or put under the care of someone she didn't know, Alex owed it to his little sister to conquer this disease.

"You're wrong, Doc." Alex looked the doctor in the eye, "I heard that the Masculosis pathogen destroys itself after a certain period of time, but it has usually destroyed it's host by then...I will survive."

The Doctor was taken aback, "I'm sorry, but nobody has ever survived this disease, I suggest-" "Well they weren't me! Do you expect me to just accept death when I'm all my little sister has?" Luke kept his gaze on the doctor who could not respond to such a question.

"I believe you, Alex" Lucas stepped forward. "You never let anything tell you what you can and can't do, I'll stay by your side the whole way through." He held up a clenched fist.

"I'll stay too, I love you Alex, I will not be so weak as to abandon the man I love as he stands against death." Maria smiled, holding back tears while laying her hand on Alex's.

"I as well, us four have been together since before we can remember, you better conquer this sickness Alex, we're counting on you to do it." Lyra nodded at Alex in affirmation.

The evening moved onto night, and Alex persevered through his allotted time, but fell asleep due to exhaustion before the disease had destroyed itself. In his dreams he felt himself fighting against death's cold hand, but eventually succumbed and felt himself being pulled into darkness when suddenly he woke up to find himself still alive. "That's odd, I felt myself die." He looked around the room, he had sent Akane home to get some rest, but his friends had stayed. Maria was sleeping beside him with her head laying against the bed, she must have truly stayed by his side through it all. He looked to the corner of the room where Lucas lay snoring in a chair, but where was Lyra? He suddenly heard a door open with the voices of Lyra and the Doctor following it, "Damn it, I had every faith that he would survive? Why him?" it was Lyra speaking. "I'm sorry, he did show resilience in outlasting when the disease should have taken him." Lyra and the Doctor stepped into view and looked at him with shocked faces, "But how? we saw you die while you slept!" Lyra's exclamation awakened Maria and Lucas. "What's this about dying? Did he die, because if he died I am going to go against my Gandhi followings and tear Ryan a new one." Lucas groggily ranted.

"I told you I'd survive," Alex spoke proudly. "In fact I've never felt better." Alex got out of the bed, standing up and displaying himself to give a silent "Tada!" Before collapsing onto his knees, an exact repeat of the day before. "Urgh!" (Author note: AND NOW FOR THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR)

Maria covered her mouth, "Not again! We were so close!" Alex shook his head, "This isn't Masculosis. No, this feels different. It's like my body is completely re-arranging itself-GAH!" Alex grabbed his head feeling a thick head of hair push out of his scalp, "What the hell is happening?" Everyone just stood there, unable to believe what they were seeing. Alex hugged himself suddenly feeling his hands condense and shrink into a more dainty appearance, but it was not just his hands, he could feel his entire body crack and shrink in size. He watched the muscle mass he had taken years to acquire disappear leaving a petite build. Alex knew that it was just beginning, he gritted his teeth as his hips widened and all the fat in his body go to his butt. Am I turning into a girl? He looked at Lyra with a look that said "Did you do this?" It was all Lyra could do to slowly shake her head in her shocked state, but Alex did not have the chance to acknowledge the gesture as he screamed when he felt his waist cave in on itself. What next? The transformations answered with his chest inflating like balloons until low and behold he could see breasts beneath the hospital dress thing (I don't know what they're called). He looked at himself and knew that there was only one thing left that symbolized he was a man, and with a shriek of pain he felt his manhood disappear, and finally he collapsed as the changes finally ended, panting from the pain and agony he now she just felt.

Lucas broke the silence, "Uuuuuuum....Alex?" "MIRROR!" Alex interrupted, grabbing her throat upon hearing her new feminine voice. 

Lyra had recuperated and plopped Alex up to reveal her new appearance on the hospital room's body mirror, and Alex could not stomach what she saw. Looking back at her was a pretty brunette with she'll admit, a body to die for. The girl that stared back at Alex looked thankfully like a feminized version of her male self. She still had dark brown hair, and her eyes were still a faded purple color. Alex was the first man to survive Masculosis...But the price was his Y chromosome. Alex's challenge of fate had turned him into a girl.

End of Chapter 1
Here's the first chapter First time ever doing a literary TG transformation so I hope it's good enough! It mainly introduces the characters, I'm not going into alot of detail on describing the characters as I'm drawing portraits of them, and I'm using my already existing portraits. While I'll keep sexualization to a minimum be warned that the characters do use vulgarity, Alex and Ryan in particular are two very vulgar characters.
(Anime Me is Lucas, remember he is a self-insert of myself)
(3/4 female drawing is lyra)
(3/4 male drawing is Ryan)
(The staple image is of course Alex)
I don't expect most of the chapters to be as long as this one

Hope y'all enjoy Chapter 1 of A Strange Beauty!

Why are their mom and dad both dead, did they die together, or was one parent already widowed when he/she died?
