PnFBuster117: Thx for adding us Trix
TellMeImPretty: np
TellMeImPretty: today's been quite a day hasn't it
VeronicaSuperstar: Totally!
PnFBuster117: well duh
PnFBuster117: every day involving Phineas and Ferb would be quite a day
PnFBuster117: cuz they do stuff like this all summer
FiresideIsabella46231: It's not like Trixie or Veronica would know that Candace
FiresideIsabella46231: They only met us all just today
TellMeImPretty: To be fair, a lot of weird things happen around Dimmsdale
TellMeImPretty: also today wasn't only weird because of Phineas and Ferb
TellMeImPretty: I also have to get used to the fact that three more people know one of my deepest secrets
TellMeImPretty: including my BFF that only knew the fake-ish me
VeronicaSuperstar: yeah
VeronicaSuperstar: it's still a bit hard to take in that someone like Trixie actually enjoys boy comics
VeronicaSuperstar: and then the two of us then will treat the unpops nicer too thx 2 that bet
FiresideIsabella46231: best bet ever btw
VeronicaSuperstar: Don't rub it in
TellMeImPretty: Well I'll say it's probably the best day ever
FiresideIsabella46231: heh, don't tell Phineas
TellMeImPretty: I mean, because I lost that bet, I can be a little more honest to everyone
TellMeImPretty: even though it's just for a week
TellMeImPretty: Plus I made two new friends to which I can actually be honest with my hobbies about
TellMeImPretty: And I can be more honest about my boy side to my BFF too
TellMeImPretty: AND she's totally loving boy comics too now
VeronicaSuperstar: wait no I'm not
VeronicaSuperstar: just because Skull Squisher intrigued me doesn't mean I'm a boy comic nerd.
TellMeImPretty: yeah right
FiresideIsabella46231: oh sure
PnFBuster117: but of course
PnFBuster117: when we opened that special album of Trixie and spent ten minutes reading the first few pages
PnFBuster117: you were definitely not gushing over the action panels
FiresideIsabella: and you were totally not excited to see more, or disappointed that we had to go so soon
TellMeImPretty: and you were definitely not asking me if you could borrow my book for a while either
VeronicaSuperstar: ok ok I get your point
VeronicaSuperstar: I guess I'm a bit uncomfortable about myself liking something that goes against my class
TellMeImPretty: I guess you might need boy clothes too
VeronicaSuperstar: yeah I guess
VeronicaSuperstar: anyway thx for introducing me to Skull Squisher, Trixie
TellMeImPretty: np Veronica
PnFBuster117: we were an awfully long time in the restroom there actually
PnFBuster117: I mean your mom had a pretty mean face when we got out
TellMeImPretty: yeah that's true
FiresideIsabella46231: To be fair none of us expected this really
FiresideIsabella46231: I mean, I expected it to take just five or ten mins at most
TellMeImPretty: I think the extra time was worth it though
VeronicaSuperstar: It's late now
VeronicaSuperstar: I guess we've to end our chat now
TellMeImPretty: Yeah...
PnFBuster117: Wait!
PnFBuster117: before you go I wanna ask something Trix

PnFBuster117: Well, I also wanna tell them about you
TellMeImPretty: oh you can tell them about me, silly

Veronica turned the power of her computer off. Today has been quite a day. She and her best friend Trixie met some of the most extraordinary kids, they both will be acting nicer to unpopulars because Trixie lost a bet, and when Veronica thought it couldn't get any weirder than the two kids' pet platypus being a secret agent, it turns out that Trixie is a secret fangirl for boy comics. And now she is, too! Well, in denial, that is. She's more closeted than a closet fan whose closet is closeted as well.
Veronica reminsced of what happened in that restroom.
"How is that Skull Squisher comic, exactly?" Veronica asked Trixie, staring at her directly in her face.
Her asian friend was dumbfounded when the blonde asked her that. Candace and Isabella were equally dumbfounded. None of them expected Veronica to take interest in the action-filled boy comics, especially after directly stating she felt sort of betrayed.
Veronica noticed this and explained: "I um, thought that, if Trixie could like something like a boy's comic, then there's probably something in it that I could like too, right?"
Trixie said: "Well, I'm not sure if you could get into it per se, but I like the fighting in it and how gory they sometimes get. The designs look awesome too, in my opinion."
Trixie then pulled her Skull Squisher album from her shopping bag. "Today, I bought a special 10th anniversary album, mint condition", she said. "It includes the very first comic, so if you're really interested, maybe we can all read along?"
"Sounds good to me", Isabella said. "That way, Veronica can have a proper opinion on it."
Veronica hesitated a bit, but decided to accept Trixie's offer. The raven-haired girl removed the plastic wrapping and opened the hardcover book, sniffing at the opened pages with delight. "Aah, I love the smell of newly-printed comics", she muttered.
She noticed it made Veronica feel a bit uneasy and apologized: "Oh, um, sorry. Let's just get to the first page, shall we?"
The quartet read the first few pages of the Skull Squisher comic. While Trixie, Isabella and Candace were already into it, Veronica was unimpressed. At first. But she quickly got more and more interested per panel, and seemed won over when they hit the fighting scene on the fourth page.
"Ohmigosh that looks amazing", she squealed. "Like, the way he punches that guy and how he snapped the neck of that other guy, and, like, the colors! The colors, they mesh so well with the action! And-"
She stopped mid-sentence as she noticed the other three staring at her. Her BFF in particular was grinning with a precious smile.
Veronica cleared her throat and said: "...so yeah, this seems not too bad..."
"Sure, sure", Candace said with a sarcastic tone. "Shall we continue?"
They read the rest of the comic, with Veronica still squealing slightly per panel. As they finished, Veronica was basically convinced. Isabella checked the time, and then said alarmingly: "Oh my gosh, it's ten before six! We have to go back to Phineas and Ferb's parents!"
"Aww, so soon", Veronica said. "We're not even halfway through the book!"
"Well, it IS a pretty thick collector's item..." Trixie replied.
"Please Trixie, can I borrow that book", Veronica asked. "I promise you get it back tomorrow."
"Sorry, but I don't want to lend out this special book so soon", Trixie said. "But I promise I'll let you read in it again tomorrow"
Veronica hugged her best friend, thanking her, but also blushing slightly out of embarrassment. She straightened herself and cleared her throat.
"Say, wasn't there a bodyguard in fromt of our door, with earplugs", Candace remembered. "How do we tell him to get out?"
"Simple, we just call him with the phone", Trixie answered. "He'll feel the buzz in his pocket."
Trixie dialed the number of her bodyguard, and about a half minute later they stepped out of the restroom.
The blonde actually got a lot more respect for her asian friend that day. Before, to Veronica, Trixie was just a popular girl like her, but better, prettier and just had more, which made Veronica really envious at times. But her secret liking for boy stuff gave Trixie a rebellious vibe, and her fear that her parents or her popular friends may not approve of this, made Trixie not as perfect as she showed.
Maybe it was time to throw that Trixie wig away.
Trixie turned the power of her computer off after reviewing her CrazeBook post. This certainly was a crazy day that flipped over the week. Those Phineas and Ferb guys certainly were some special kids that could create a bunch of stuff, and their sister Candace, who discovered her secret liking for comics, turned out to be a great friend, albeit a little obsessive at times. As if she was also her big sister.
She also felt glad that her best friend Veronica got to know this side too, even though she's still miffed that her blonde friend had to find out by spying on her. But as it turned out, Veronica got to become a fan of Skull Squisher too, sorta, and that convinced Trixie enough that Veronica won't tell this to other people.
Another thing that surprised her, was that on the Best Slide Ever, she and Timmy actually hit it off pretty nicely, albeit as acquaintances. Trixie thought that Timmy would be just another boy that liked her for her appearance, but that bucktoothed boy apparently knew a lot about Kissy Kissy Goo Goo, and shipped the same pairings as her. When Timmy revealed his liking for the soap, she thought it was just a bluff to get friendly with her, but the bet she lost actually managed her to discover that Timmy was an avid fan. And eerily enough, had now even closer resemblances to Timantha.
But her secret liking for boy stuff is the only thing Timantha knew about that Timmy seemingly didn't. However, Trixie was thinking on, maybe, telling Timmy this.
Then Trixie realized that her mother may be right about one thing: that maybe being nice to everyone for a week IS changing her...
Isabella turned the power of her tablet off, which she used Strype on. She, alongside the other Danvillian kids and Candace, are already in pajamas in the bedroom. She's seeing Candace heavily texting Stacy and Jeremy about today's events. She then turned to Phineas:
"So, what did you think of the first day in Dimmsdale?"
Phineas turned to the raven-haired girl and replied: "Today was great! I got to meet new friends and we made the best water slide ever! How was your day, Isabella?"
Isabella said: "Great! That slide was amazing, Phineas..." Oh, how she loved to compliment Phineas, especially when it was true. "Although it did start a bit rough when we met Trixie, but I think we hit it off nicely in the end."
"Oh, speaking of that", Phineas said.
"I know", Isabella interrupted. "I'm sorry for dragging you guys in an extremely risky bet."
"No, not about that, Isabella", Phineas said. "I was just wondering what took you guys so long in the restroom at the end."
"Nope, can't tell", Isabella said. "It's a secret."
"Aw man", Phineas sighed.
Isabella reflected on Trixie's secret, since that was being discussed in that very restroom. When she discovered it, she was actually quite surprised, but it did make her respect Trixie more. Although, she wished that Trixie would be more open about her liking for boy stuff, instead of acting like a snobby brat (which she'll thankfully halt for a week thanks to that bet). There's nothing to be ashamed of about liking comics.
Perry, who was resting on Ferb's lap, overheard Isabella and Phineas. He heard about a secret. Hopefully, this wasn't the same secret as the one he had with Veronica. Yes, she also came out of that restroom, and Perry did notice her sneaking in there too. But since she snuck in there after Trixie's reaction, this probably wasn't about the teal platypus. Perry guessed that it was about Trixie's own secret, which he witnessed a part of.
His first day in Dimmsdale was quite something for Perry too. He discovered himself that Trixie was more than she lets on, with her secret liking for boy things. He didn't witness all, but he saw enough to put the pieces together. Luckily, Trixie didn't discover Perry's own secret, even though she could have very easily.
Her best friend Veronica, however, did discover Perry's secret, thanks to his nemesis unknowingly attracting attention. Hopefully, she'd keep it a secret.
Though Perry couldn't help to fear Veronica would blab anyway, especially now she and Trixie appear to be friends with Isabella and Candace.
But maybe Perry worries too much. Stacy hasn't blabbed yet, either. Right now, it's unknown what the future will hold.
Timmy lied on his bed, as his fairy godparents and godbrother poofed in front of him. As he suspected earlier, his parents were away this evening and left the pink-hatted boy with the evil red-headed teenager that is Vicky. Timmy just got sent to bed after some tiring chores, in trade for not getting tortured by flamethrowers.
Despite having done those said chores, Timmy had a smile on his face, as he reminisced to what happened this afternoon. As he laid on his bed with said smile, his fairies poofed in front of him.
"Man, what a day", Timmy said. "I met a bunch of cool new friends, rode an amazing waterslide, prevented Remy from destroying it, and best of all..."
"...you discovered green hair is a natural occurrence on planet Earth?", Cosmo interrupted. "Or is it that I had the best cheater mustache ever?"
"...I actually got to hang out with Trixie by being myself", Timmy continued, completely ignoring Cosmo. "And she actually took interest in what I said! AND it's gonna be like that the whole week!" Timmy left a sigh of love.
"Dang it", Cosmo said. "I was gonna guess my sandwich next!"
Wanda rolled her eyes at Cosmo's statement. She then turned to Timmy and told him: "I don't know, Timmy. Trixie was like that because she lost that bet. Maybe she isn't being honest with you."
Timmy realized that could be true. But he responded: "That's possible, but I'd like to think she was honest."
Wanda was still concerned: "You can't be completely sure about it, sport. Unless she told you a secret that only, say, the girl you once were knew."
"When I was Timantha?" Timmy asked. "Yeah, I guess that would sell it. But for some reason, I'm beginning to think that as of today, a few more people also know her boy side now."
"Like whom?" Wanda asked.
Before Timmy could answer, Chloe crashed through his room.
"Timmy, I got to talk to you and our godparents about something", she exclaimed in a panicked tone.
Timmy was confused. He questioned: "Wait, how did you get past Vicky-"
"That's not important right now", Chloe interrupted. "Look!"
She held a tablet, showing CrazeBook. The post she was currently viewing was from Trixie and showed one of her selfies on the slide from earlier.
"Cool, Trixie posted her selfies", Timmy said. "And look, I'm on some of them too!"
"And look how sick we look as his bracelets", Cosmo said.
Chloe got a little irritated as she said: "It's not about the selfies! Look who liked this photo!" She then pointed to the like list. More specifically, she pointed to a specific person that liked it.
It was Denzel Crocker, Timmy's crazy teacher.
"Mr Crocker?" Timmy said.
"And this ain't the only one, either", Chloe replied. She viewed all the other photos Trixie made on the slide and showed them one by one, pointing at the note that Crocker liked it at each of them.
"So, Crocker liked them, so what?" Timmy asked.
"So what, he says", Chloe said, as if she couldn't believe what his bucktoothed friend said. "Timmy, Mr. Crocker has NEVER liked any of Trixie's selfies!"
Timmy's eyes widened a little. "Hey, that's true", Timmy realized. "But why did he like these ones?"
"Because these selfies are different from any other Trixie made", Chloe said. "Most of them are about showing off clothes or other costly stuff. But these ones show off the slide Phineas and Ferb made."
"It also seems that she credited Phineas and Ferb at every one of these pictures", Wanda noted. "And also saying that those two are unlike any other kid she met."
"So, I guess Crocker's taking interest in Phineas and Ferb", Timmy asked.
"More than that", Chloe said. "Take in account his not-so-secret obsession with fairies, Timmy."
Timmy's eyes widened completely. "Wait", he said. "You don't suppose..."
"I do suppose, Timmy", Chloe said. "I believe that Mr Crocker..."
Then, together with Timmy, she finished:
"...THINKS PHINEAS AND FERB HAVE FAIRY GODPARENTS!"
Then they heard Vicky's voice from below: "Would you two keep it quiet?! I can't hear my favorite tv show when you're yelling!"
Author's Note: This chapter is a bit on the unusual side compared to the previous chapters. For starters, it begins in a different format. I've only done it like that so it gives off a more chatroom-ish style. Hope you're not all too bothered by this choice!
This is also my first chapter with a flashback (that isn't told by Doofenshmirtz to anyone), shown in italics.
Also, we've reached the end of Bet-tle at the Mall, though it ends on a somewhat cliffhanger-ish note. When this story was first written, there was no sequel yet, but as of this revamp, you can check out Crocknapped next.
If you liked this story... well, since this story is finished, it would probably be weird if you followed it, but you can still favorite it and tell me what you think!
