Outside the store, three kids await Timmy, and didn't expect him to be followed by five other kids.

The black, bald boy in clean clothes asked: "Timmy, why are these guys following you?"

Timmy answered: "I um, got caught in a mishap with one of these guys, and I'd like to introduce you guys to them. They're staying in town for a week."

After the Danvillian kids introduced themselves, Timmy's friends did so too, starting with the black boy: "I'm AJ. Pleased to meet you". The messy, blonde boy with the braces followed: "The name's Chester." Then the pale blonde girl with the chip in her teeth finished: "And I'm Chloe."

"And together (with Sanjay and Elmer), we're the Dimmsdale geeks", Timmy said. "Because we read comics, play video games and all that other geeky stuff."

"Is it not weird to be associated with a title like that?", Baljeet questioned.

"You get used to it", Chester replied. "B'sides, literally everyone at our school is grouped in certain categories"

"Yep", Chloe continued. "The geeks are obviously the least popular category, often nicknamed as 'unpopulars'. You also got the jocks, bullies, sensitives and whatnot."

"And you also got the populars themselves", Timmy said. "They are obviously, on the opposite side of us geeks"

"...what are populars even like, then?" Phineas said. "I mean, jocks and bullies, that's obvious, but what makes populars, well, popular?"

AJ replied: "They are usually rich, having all the cool stuff and all the luxuries."

"I'd like to see one of those", Isabella said.

Then suddenly, the lights turn off.

"Well, wish granted", AJ said. "I think you're about to meet a popular real soon."

Elsewhere, Candace also noticed the seemingly local blackout at the clothes department on the second floor.

She immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion and growls: "Phineas and Ferb...", and she immediately left the store. However, she was still in the fitting room with unbought clothes when the lights turned off, and was halted immediately.

With all the lights turned off, a lone, large spotlight, appears to be the only source of light in the hall, pointing towards the mall's entrance. The spotlight reveals an asian, raven-haired girl in fresh, lilac clothes and headband, as well as her blonde cheerleader friend, who had a star-shaped hairclip, a white shirt and a pink skirt. Both girls seem to be quite pretty for their age, but they also seem quite materialistic. At the very least, the Asian girl seems to carry an expensive bag full of clothes, one could guess from the chicest boutique in town.

Literally everybody looked upon the two girls in awe. Even our group of Danville, although moreso of curiosity, than the rest of Dimmsdale, who obviously know these girls already.

Phineas couldn't help to notice that especially Timmy was excited seeing one of the girls. In fact, he couldn't help to notice that his normally blue pupils have become pink hearts. Obviously, he had a crush on one of the show-stealing girls.

Phineas guessed that it might be the asian girl. That one was scientifically prettier.

Then, the asian girl clapped her hands, saying: "Okay, you can carry on with your less important stuff now", at which point the lights turned back to normal. Then, she and her blonde friend walked towards a terrace, which surprisingly wasn't too far away from where the gang has gathered.

The Danville friends were completely silent, about as silent as Ferb usually would be. The silence was broken by Baljeet, who angrily complained:

"Is that it?! IS THAT IT?! The entire mall went completely black and they even had a spotlight, and they had absolutely NOTHING to say?! What a waste of time! Those girls just wasted forty seconds of all our lives, and for what? Attention? You know what, I am going to give them a piece of my mind, I will be telling them that I find this attention-grabbing simply and completely unacceptable! You will see-"

As Baljeet was already heading to the two girls, Buford literally knocked some sense into him by slamming his cranium, prompting Baljeet to fall face-first on the ground.

"Thank you, Buford..." said the Indian boy, still having his face on the ground.

Phineas wanted to ask Timmy who those girls were, but Timmy's romanticized eyes remained unchanged, so he asked AJ instead:

"Say AJ, who ARE those girls anyway? And", he added, "what's up with Timmy now?"

"Those two are Trixie Tang and Veronica", AJ replied, "the most popular students at our school. And, well, Timmy... has a huge crush on Trixie."

AJ paused before continuing: "She... doesn't really return those feelings".

"Huh, so those are populars, then...", Phineas said. "You know, you'd think she'd fall for a guy like Timmy when you see her. At least, that's how I see it."

With an unimpressed exession, Isabella glanced a bit to Phineas, who may have just revealed to have a horrible judgement on character. While she doesn't exactly know why Trixie has denied Timmy, she does have a few guesses of her own that could be very legitimate reasons.

Baljeet, who got himself up from the ground already, just got his mind clear enough to ask: "Is there a reason why?", at which Chester answered: "Basically, populars like her don't hang out with unpopulars like us, let alone date 'em".

The Dimmsdale geeks have noticed, upon Chester finishing his sentence, that their friends from Danville stared at them with weird faces of disbelief. To top it all of, it's followed by Buford, saying: "Say WHAAAAAAA?"

"This... isn't normal to you?", AJ replied

"Well, not really", Phineas said. "Back in Danville, we treat every kid equally, no matter how popular or not they are".

"Oh, so THAT'S why you keep inviting Irving", Buford interrupted.

Everyone turned their head to Buford.

"...what?"

"...of course, that doesn't mean everyone treats every kid equally", Phineas said, glancing at the grayish bully that interrupted him.

"Anyway", Chloe said, "It's probably best for Timmy to avoid Trixie for a while. He always gets injured by her tall bodyguards." Chloe shudders by the thought of it. Then she straightened herself up and asked: "Speaking of Timmy, where IS he?"

The gang just noticed that they're lacking a buck-tooted boy in pink.

Then they all looked towards Buford, as if he knew more about it.

"Alright, fine, I let that kid go see that Trix gal", Buford admitted. "At least HE had no ill meaning unlike my nerd. How was I s'posed to know SHE didn't like that-"

Before Buford could finish his sentence, they heard a loud noise towards the direction of a nearby trashcan. It turns out Trixie's bodygard threw Timmy in there as if he were a basketball.

"How'd ya like that dunk, punk?!", the bodyguard yelled to Timmy.

Timmy could only moan out of pain. The others were staying silent, until Ferb said: "Actually, that was a regular shot."

While Chester and AJ helped Timmy out of the trashcan, Trixie could be heard saying: "Please don't bother me again for today, Turner." That is pretty standard stuff for Trixie to say (at least, when she didn't 'forgot' Timmy's name as usual), but then she noticed Phineas and Ferb, and added: "And please, keep your new idiotic friends away from me. Their dopey triangle head and comically large nose can ruin my image, you know."

While the others were indifferent at best with that last remark Trixie made, that one was a comment that the usually coolheaded Isabella not only found unacceptable, but downright infuriated her. Isabella has known Phineas and Ferb since they were kindergarteners, and while they did look odd, they already impressed her immediately, by building contraptions they would be too young to even know what it should do. Plus, they had a certain charm. Something Isabella couldn't resist as a five-year old. Something that might've initiated Isabella's love for Phineas.

Phineas and Ferb are geniuses, not a bunch of idiots. Trixie has completely disregarded them as heaps of trash, purely due to their appearance. So it's pretty obvious something snapped inside Isabella.

"You're going down, Tang", Isabella whispered furiously.

She decided to confront Trixie by herself and give her a piece of her mind. Buford recognized the anger in Isabella's face: that usually meant bad news. So, with a worried expression, he tried to stand in front of Isabella, saying: "Hey, Iz, no offense, but I think you should really calm down, or sumthin'."

But before he knew it, Isabella grabbed Buford by the arm, and thrown him Judo-style right behind him in an arch. Buford yelped while being thrown.

Not paying attention to the nearby kids, Trixie continued her mocking with Veronica: "And who keeps such a bore as a platypus as a pet", as Isabella stormed directly towards the two populars.

"Isabella, wait!" Phineas exclaimed as he and Ferb (and Perry) huddled along, trying to get Isabella back to their senses. But Isabella already reached Trixie and was about to confront her.
