Candace was going completely bonkers out of worry, and fatigue made her sit down and breathe heavily. So, Trixie comforted her: "Relax, the damage isn't done just yet."

Candace calmed down and looked at Trixie, saying: "You're right. We just need to prevent their scheme from happening."

"Right", Trixie said. "All we need to do is take away that flask, lock it up somewhere and everything will be OK!"

"Trix, you're absolutely correct", Candace said. "We need to catch up to them and snag that juice away!"

"You seem quite confident now", Trixie said.

"I am confident now", Candace confirmed. "LET'S DO IT!"

"Do what?", said a voice behind Candace and Trixie. They turned around.

It was Isabella.

"Hi Candace", Isabella said. "What'cha doin'?"

"More like what are YOU doing", Candace replied. "Aren't you supposed to help Phineas with whatever you're building?"

"Oh, we're just putting up the finishing touches now", Isabella said. "I'm assigned to buy food coloring." She gestured to a cart she's been carrying, loaded with tons of bottles of food coloring.

"You're gonna color snacks?" Candace asked.

"No", Isabella said. "We're gonna color water. Although, adding side snacks would be a good idea."

She jotted 'colored side snacks' down on a notepad, the asked again: "So, again, what'cha doing?"

Trixie hoped that Isabella didn't recognize her, and said in a deeper voice: "You may not believe it, but your friend is in quite some trouble. Some rich guy-"

"Oh, that's right, Phineas told me about it", Isabella said. "Also, you must be Candace's new friend he was talking about earlier. What's your name?"

"His name is, er, Trixtan, but that's not important right now", Candace said. "That Buxaplenty guy bribed four shady-looking guys to set up a distraction, and then plans to add Boom Juice, so the thing Phineas and Ferb are working on would explode!"

"Boom Juice?!", Isabella exclaimed. "Isn't that the nitroglycerin-based formula used for self-destruct buttons? I gotta warn Phineas!"

"Isabella dialed a number on her cellphone to contact Phineas.

As Isabella was talking to Phineas, Trixie's own phone buzzed. Looking at the text she got, she whispered to Candace: "I gotta go. My friend misses me, and she might suspect things if I don't show up."

"Oh, that's too bad", Candace whispered. "Good luck with that."

As Isabella was done with her phone call, she saw Trixie just disappearing in the distance.

"What's up with Trixtan?", she asked.

Candace thought for a bit while saying: "He... umm, had to go somewhere real fast. But that doesn't matter, we can prevent that Boom Juice from coming ourselves, too. We'll just snag it away, right under their noses, whadd'ya say?"

"Well, I would", Isabella said. "But I still need to deliver this food coloring to Phineas. You think you can do it alone, too?"

"Well, maybe", Candace replied. "But what if I fail? Don't you guys have a backup plan or something?"

"Don't worry about us", Isabella said. "Phineas said to me that Timmy and Chloe will be extra weary, and Buford and Chester will distract the shady figures."

"You sure Buford and that other guy can handle them?", Candace asked. "Remy may be a pipsqueak but those others are almost as tall as me. And I'm only taller because of my stupid neck!"

"I'm set for backup help if they gets in trouble", Isabella said with confidence. "And if I can handle a heavy bouncer, I'm sure I can handle some tall kids too."

"Oh, that's alright then", Candace said. Then she realized: "Wait, why are we still standing here?! Those guys may already be halfway and we're still just here! We gotta move!"

The two girls ran to the nearest elevator. After reaching the first floor, the two split up: Candace went on the lookout for Remy's gang while Isabella went straight to Phineas, dragging her carriage with food coloring along.


Meanwhile, Trixie has already swapped her boy clothes for her regular ones. Veronica's text told her to meet her at the third floor, so she took the elevator.

Veronica was waiting for Trixie at the third floor's elevator and was pretty surprised to see her asian friend come out of there.

"Wow", Veronica exclaimed. "You're like, earlier than expected."

Trixie was looking at the time on her smartphone, and it appears to be 4:35. "Yeah, totally", she agreed.

"So, what should we do before we can humilate those dorks", Veronica asked.

Trixie admitted: "I'm not sure, actually."

"Hey, why don't we go, like, window shopping", Veronica suggested. "Maybe you'll get another idea later."

Trixie agreed and the two strolled around the third floor.


Candace ran for a bit and then saw Remy in the distance. He and the bullies were about to walk under a glass pathway from the second floor.

Thinking quickly, Candace took a fishing pole and a cork from a nearby stand, and swung the pole so the line extended towards the glass pathway and the hook would latch onto it. Then she jumped onto some nearby springs while reeling in, making her able to swing from one side to the other. When reaching Remy, she took the flask out of his hands and put the cork onto it. She then landed near an escalator on the second floor.

Remy was completely surprised when his Boom Juice has been snatched away right before his eyes. He then noticed Candace on the second floor, with the flask in her hands.

"Why that little...", Remy muttered. He then commanded: "After that giraffe!"

The quintet ran to the second floor, giving chase to Candace. Candace already saw Remy getting towards her and ran away as fast as she could. Thanks to the cork on the flask, the Boom Juice isn't as reactive as when exposed, so she doesn't have to be as careful. "Makes you think why they don't include corks alongside their beakers", Candace thought.

Remy was catching up to her, however, so he warned: "Listen, longneck, I told you not to get in my way again! Hand over that flask or my four friends will beat the heck outta you!"

"Four friends?!", Candace replied. "You're the only one chasing me!"

"Huh?" Remy said as he halted. He looked around as the bullied he hired were indeed lacking.

He immediately ran back and then saw Francis and his friends... trying to pin down a giant giraffe-shaped balloon. "Oh for the love of...", Remy said. Then he yelled: "FRANCIS! What are you doing?!"

Francis looked at Remy and said: "Well, you said 'After that giraffe', and we thought you meant this balloon..."

"Not a literal giraffe, you imbecile", Remy exclaimed. He pointed towards Candace, who is now far, far away in the distance. "That girl with the long neck! Ugh, she doesn't even have to bluff to win time. You guys already win time for her! How are we gonna catch up to her now?!"

Then they noticed a sports store. With rollerblades for sale.
