Trixie had never so much fun in her life since that time she spent some time together with Timantha. While the bucktoothed girl was a more superior true friend, Candace was definitely up there. She didn't care about Trixie's boyish hobbies, unlike the 'friends' she usually hung out with. In fact, Candace also read comics herself.

If this weren't written material, an original song would've popped up to showcase Candace and Trixie being good friends.

They went to the arcade, playing kart racers, dancing games and all sorts of things. They discussed comic theories and headcanons, and which ship was better than which ship. Trixie introduced Candace to the Skull Squisher comics and the Kissy Kissy Goo Goo soap, while Candace shared her interest for Marvel comics and Ducky Momo with her asian friend.

"You still watch a toddler's show?" Trixie asked with surprise.

"I just couldn't let it go", Candace admitted. "I like that duck so much."

The two girls just had so much fun together that neither noticed the giant contraption Phineas and Ferb made, even when they got incredibly close.

But then, as they were discussing which sci-fi movie was better, Candace accidentally bumped against a snooty blonde boy. The person held a flask and seemed to try go get as much back into balance as possible. He luckily succeeded, but he scolded Candace anyway: "Could you maybe watch out, you incompetent giraffe?!"

Candace felt a bit offended by that remark and responded: "Well excuse me for not paying attention, but no need to be rude about it, kiddo-"

"Buxaplenty! Remy Buxaplenty if you please", the boy cut her off. "NOT 'kiddo'!"

"Sheesh, as if I would've known your name", Candace scoffed. "I probably should tell you that it's 'Candace Flynn' and not 'incompetent giraffe', if you really want to play like that!"

"Maybe you should stop being so rude, pencil neck", Remy retorted, "And you and your dumb friend should watch out next time."

If he knew that 'dumb friend' was actually his crush in disguise, Remy would've never said that. Regardless, Trixie felt offended and said: "Hey, what's the deal with dragging me into this?!"

"Because YOU are with this 40-foot pole, of course!" Remy responded. "Although, you do remind me of someone I respect for some reason. What's your name, red-cap?"

Trixie sweat a little. She was of course disguised as a boy, but couldn't think of any masculine versions of her own name and stammered: "Umm... my name is, uh, Trix... tan... Trixtan. Trixtan Torne."

Remy squinted his eyes as if he suspected something, then pulled a neutral expression and told her: "...alright then, Trixtan. I have to go. If you and your walking ruler stay out of my business, that would be appreciated." Remy then left, still trying to keep his flask in balance.

Candace grumpily told Trixie: "Man, that guy is obnoxious!" Trixie agreed: "Yeah, he seems to only think about himself. And then to think he's got a crush on me too. As if I would ever date him."

"Is this the guy you talked about earlier?" Candace asked.

"No", Trixie replied. "The other guy can be obnoxious too, but he seems selfless, and he isn't a popular, like I said. Remy is even snootier than I could ever act to be."

"Oh wow", Candace said.

The two were silent for a bit, then Candace remarked: "Hey wait a minute, what was that all about with the flask? He tried to keep it in balance and stuff, as if it were very important, but never brought that up!"

Trixie realized that Remy was indeed carrying a flask, and tried to be very careful about it. "You think that's why he got mad at us?"

"I don't know, but I'm calling Phineas about it", Candace responded. She grabbed her cellphone and dialed a number.

Something buzzed in Phineas's pocket. It was a dark blue cellphone Phineas has gotten recently. The redheaded kid pulled out his mobile phone while fastening some more bolts.

"Hello, Phineas Flynn here", he answered optimistically.

"Hey, it's Candace", he heard from the other line.

"Oh hey, Candace!", Phineas responded gleefully. "How are you? Did you find your comics? Were they satisfying?"

"I'm fine. The comic had a garbage ending, but I met a new friend and we were having a great time. But that's not what I'm here fo-"

"New friend, huh", Phineas interrupted ecstatically. "What's their name? How're they like?" Phineas is always quite curious when it comes to new friends, and is especially glad when Candace gets to make one.

Remembering to keep Trixie's secret hidden, Candace responded: "I'd rather not tell." She continued with what she originally wanted to ask: "Listen, Phineas, suppose you accidentally bumped up against a snooty kid that called you an incompetent giraffe, called himself 'Remy Buxaplenty' or something, wanted nothing to do with you or your friend, all the while trying to carefully holding a flask with a colorless liquid inside... what do you suppose that liquid might be?"

After a bit of silence, Phineas responded to the phone: "...Candace, you could've just told me that what you just said happened to you, you know."

"Just tell me what you think what's inside that flask!" Candace answered with a slight demanding tone.

"I dunno", Phineas responded. "There's tons of clear liquids. Might as well be water."

Candace's groaning could be heard quite clearly over the phone. Water. In a flask. Seriously?

"But you know, maybe it is something suspicious", Phineas said. "We have seen a snooty kid at our project thanks to Irving, and Timmy did identify him as a Remy Buxaplenty. According to him, he tries to sabotage us. Which reminds me, a lot of his sabotages seem to be unsabotaged by just the strangest things. Like, he somehow got wax on his feet, and termites were being really attracted to a pencil he had."

Ferb, who stood beside Phineas, then suggested: "Tell her about the bowling ball."

"Oh yeah, and Ferb want me to also tell you about a giant bowling ball. It got an early free ride, somehow!"

Candace was a bit tired and then asked over her phone: "...Get to the point..."

"Oh, right", Phineas realised. "It is possible that Remy could be carrying something potentially dangerous to mess with our plans. You probably should follow him and find out what it is."

"Got it." Candace said.

About to end the conversation, Phineas then added: "...But it could still be just some water-"

"WE GET IT", Candace interrupted. "See ya later."

Candace pressed the red button on her phone, ending the conversation. She then asked Trixie: "Say Trix, where do you think Remy's headed?"

Trixie thought a bit, then answered: "It looks like he headed to the mall's gym."

"Great, then we go to the gym!" Candace said, then ran straight ahead, while dragging Trixie at her left arm.

"Umm, the gym is THAT way...", Trixie told Candace, pointing to the southeastern direction behind her. Candace already went a bit forward, so they should've headed right.

"Oh", Candace said.
