Trixie Tang was amazed at the large waterslide-like contraption Phineas and Ferb have conjured. So amazed, in fact, that she dropped her jaw. She noticed that Veronica almost lost her consciousness. Tad and Chad looked upon the slide with eyes so wide open, they could pop right out of their skull at any given moment.

Mrs Tang looked absolutely shocked, as if she was completely petrified. Mr Tang glanced with worrisome thoughts to his wife, realizing that her reaction was bad news and she could burst at any moment.

Everyone else behind Trixie bore similar expressions, except for Remy, who looked even more defeated than before the popular kids were introduced to... um...

What was this thing called, anyway?

"Cool, huh", Phineas expressed. "Ferb and I have made a lot of water slides over the course of Summer, but this time we kicked it up a notch or two."

Realizing that her jaw was still hanging, Trixie closed her mouth and stared intently at her triangle-headed rival. Isabella, who stood next to Phineas, couldn't help to smirk at Trixie's surprise. Almost as if to say 'I told you they were awesome'.

Phineas continued: "We decided to call this 'The Ferbtastic Phinmazing Super Cool Slide Of Fun', but you can also call it 'The Coolest Slide Ever' in case you think the last name's too complicated." He gestured at the tubes, saying: "As you can see, it's a water slide with rainbow-colored water streaming through many paths and splits, each with exciting curves and looping, and decorated with lights." He then gestured towards a disco floor in the slide: "We also packed this baby with various activities one normally wouldn't find in a waterslide, such as this disco floor, or a bubble bath or a carrousel. The bar even serves colored snacks." He got that suggestion from Isabella, who in turn got it from Candace.

"And of course, the very top of this slide is supplied with inner tubes for anyone to ride in", Phineas said. "And the changing rooms are right there, in case you haven't put on your bathing suit yet."

Phineas began approaching Trixie and asked the black-haired asian: "So, what do you think? Is this good enough for the bet?"

Trixie blinked. She had to admit that this looks like the most fun water slide ever. She actually was so impressed that she didn't mind to declare Phineas and Ferb as the winners of the bet, and had to stop acting stuck up, albeit for a week.

If it weren't for her mother...

Mrs Tang was twitching with her eyes throughout Phineas's entire speech. Sometimes, she even bruxed with her teeth. When Phineas asked that one question to her daughter, though, her face went red of anger. This was a bad, bad sign...

"BEATRIX TIANA TANG", she yelled furiously towards Trixie, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS OR YOU'LL BE IN DEEP TROUBLE, YOUNG LADY."

Trixie jumped out of fear when her mother angrily screamed her full name. That always meant she was in deep trouble. Phineas also jumped due to sheer surprise. He definitely did not expect anyone madly yelling towards someone, or at least not in such extreme way as Trixie's mom just did. The popular kids, including Trixie's friends, also turned their eyes towards Trixie's mother with fear, as did Phineas's friends, and Timmy and his friends. Buford seemed to be cowering behind Baljeet.

"Hold on, Mrs Tang", Phineas asked. "Why isn't your daughter allowed to approve this slide?"

Mrs Tang turned towards Phineas, still with an angry red face and a twitching eye. That cheeky boy got guts to question her methods like that!

"Have you forgotten what you proposed in case my daughter accepts defeat", she bellowed. "She is forced to be nice to the unrich and unpopular, which will obviously blemish the name of the Tang family! No longer will they be respected and instead be shunned by the other rich families in Dimmsdale. Our reputation will be gone, we will be ridiculed and we will eventually be poorer than dirt!"

Phineas raised an eyebrow at this story. Phineas wanted to say something, but Candace already took the words right from his mouth, as she said: "That sounds a little unrealistic."

"Well, yeah, it does", Phineas agreed. "Especially that last part. I don't think a little niceness towards the less successful would hurt your wealth, Mrs Tang."

"But our reputation would", Mrs Tang retorted. "Rich people that hang out with street urchins and beggers have never been taken seriously, and never will."

Phineas raised his eyebrow again. He said: "O...kay, I see your point, but aren't you exaggerating a bit?" He gestured to Timmy and AJ, continuing: "I mean, I'm pretty sure they aren't beggers that live on the streets."

"In my book, they are", Mrs Tang replied stubbornly.

"H-honey, it's okay", Mr Tang stuttered to his wife. "It's just for a week. After that, Trixie can just treat them however they want."

"Which is too long", she retorted back. "Trixie will be too accustomed treating them nicely to change back. She'll lose all her friends. And any new friends she will make are absolutely unworthy for the rich."

It went silent for a bit. Mr Tang didn't know what to say, Trixie was too afraid making her decision and the rest just anticipated. Then, a lone voice said to Mrs Tang:

"I will treat the lower class nicely too for this week..."

It was Veronica, Trixie's friend.

Trixie's mother turned towards the blonde. "And what would YOUR mother think of that" she asked.

"I'm not sure", Veronica replied. "But didn't you, like, say that Trixie would lose all her friends if she treated the unpopulars better? Well, I thought, like, 'If I stuck to her side through the week and be treating them better too, at least she would have ONE rich friend left', right?"

That, and she hoped to at least get closer to Timmy within this period, but no one needs to know that. Besides, she decided this mainly for her best friend.

Everyone was surprised at Veronica's offer. Who expected her to sacrifice herself alongside Trixie just so she could keep a friend as wealthy as her?

"I wouldn't go as far as treating dorks better, but I'll definitely stay Trixie's friend whether she does or not", Tad offered. "Me too", Chad seconded.

The other populars would also like to stay Trixie's friend, no matter if she'll keep treating lower-class people better or not. Remy was actually quite surprised she would still be popular after losing the bet, so he offered the same.

With the wide support, Trixie's mom had no choice but to give in. She sighed and said to her daughter: "Alright. Accept defeat if you want. But don't forget that I still don't approve of you hanging out with the foul low class. Do you understand, Trixie?"

Trixie gulped and replied: "Yes, Mother."

"Good." Her mother then said, "I'll be going for a while. Be sure you're ready in half an hour." As she left the group, she called her husband, who quickly followed her.

Everyone stared to the two parents getting further away, as Phineas said to Trixie: "So. The slide, whaddya think?"

"Honestly, that thing looks really cool", Trixie replied. "I apologize for not believing you earlier."

"That's okay", Phineas said back. "You know, since we kinda made it for your bet, I think it'd be cool if you were the first to ride it!"

"Really?!", Trixie said.

"Well, yeah, why not", Phineas said nonchalantly.

Trixie went to the nearest changing room and changed her lilac and white clothes to a purple bikini. Many other kids followed suit and changed their clothes for swimwear.

Phineas escorted Trixie to the starting point of the Coolest Slide Ever. A myriad of children followed, forming a line so large that only a fifth of it took up the entire spiral staircase the slide was connected to.

At the starting point, Trixie hesitated a bit and kept staring at the colorful inner tubes. "Which one should I choose", she asked.

"Whichever you want", Phineas said. "It doesn't really matter - a new one will be added when you slide down!"

Trixie was about to approach the purple inner tube after hearing that, but she stopped again as a loud, screechy yell was approaching the slide from above.

It was Doofenshmirtz, who was falling down after being launched up from the cauldron's explosion from earlier (not that either Phineas or Trixie knew about that).

He fell in a green inner tube and started sliding down the rainbow-colored stream of water. The evil scientist had no idea what was happening and kept spinning around until he was halted by impact against a split. With both of his legs in a different tube each, that would probably hurt down his pelvis.

Phineas and Trixie kept staring silently at Doofenshmirtz.

"Well, that was kinda random", Phineas said, breaking the silence.

"One kind that stole the first ride from me, too", Trixie added.

"No worries, Trixie", Phineas commented. "He didn't destroy it or something - you can totally slide down it still."

Trixie felt Phineas was right and then placed herself in the purple inner tube, also sliding down the colorful stream.
