[The scene opens in Applejack’s backyard.  Bubble Berry is helping Pappy Smith construct a new wooden fence around the property.  They are in the middle of a conversation.]

Bubble Berry: [hammering][curious] So then what happened?

Pappy Smith: [also working][continues his story] I had to fly that bucket of bolts right through the enemy line.  When we got our boys back, we was lucky none of em had anymore holes in em.

Bubble Berry: [impressed] Wow! That sounds like fun!

Pappy Smith: [offended] Fun? War ain’t fun boy!  War is hell, and that ain’t nevah gonna change!

[Rainbow Blitz approaches the two.]

Rainbow Blitz: There you are Berry.  I thought you said you were going to help me find a drummer for my band today.

Bubble Berry: Sorry dude, Pappy Smith offered me twenty bucks to help him with the fence.  He just finished telling me about all the fun he had during the war.

Pappy Smith: [even more offended] Dagnabbit, boy!  I swear to god, you youngins today with your fancy paint guns and SPF video games!  You have no idea what real war is like!

Rainbow Blitz:  [ignores Pappy Smith] Could you hurry up? I haven’t got all day.

Bubble Berry: Well, maybe I could work a little faster. [picks up a 2nd hammer]

Rainbow Blitz: Most people don't know how hard it is to find someone who could use [Berry starts hammering with both hands] both hands the way a drummer does.

Bubble Berry: [working quickly] I’ll bet.

[Berry begins to work even quicker.  Unfortunately, he hits something wrong. This causes a chain reaction that knocks the entire fence down.  Pappy Smith glares at him angrily.]

Bubble Berry: [laughs nervously] Oops…

[Pappy Smith angrily takes the two hammers away from Berry, and points for him to leave.]

[Next Scene: on the football field.  Blitz and Berry are working on a large banner.]

Rainbow Blitz: [getting ready to paint something] I wanted to go for a sort of edgy, manly look for this banner.  So please, [very serious] don’t use any glitter.

[While Blitz is distracted with his drawing, Berry runs off and quickly comes back with a big jar of glitter.]

Rainbow Blitz: [working carefully] A drummer can't just be anybody.

Bubble Berry: [begins beating the glitter jar like a drum] I hear ya!

Rainbow Blitz: [continues working] They need to have the right instincts, you know?

Bubble Berry: That’s right! [continues using the glitter jar like drum]

Rainbow Blitz: [notices Berry][annoyed] Dude! I said no glitter!

[Rainbow Blitz walks over to take the glitter jar away from Berry, but just before he gets there, the jar’s sprinkler lid falls off.  Blitz is covered in cloud of glitter.]

Rainbow Blitz: [coughs] You’re worse than my mom!

[Next Scene: In the Cafeteria. Rainbow Blitz, Bubble Berry, Elusive, and Applejack are eating their lunch together.]

Rainbow Blitz: [to all his friends] The drummer’s gotta be someone with a lot of energy.

Bubble Berry: [squirts chocolate syrup into his milk] Absolutely! [starts stirring his chocolate milk]

[When Berry is done stirring, he takes his silverware and begins to play the drums with his cafeteria tray and dishes.]

Rainbow Blitz: I mean, a lot! [Berry begins drumming harder] Energy, enthusiasm… [Berry drums even harder]

Applejack: [noticing that Berry is making a mess, Applejack walks over to him and grabs Berry’s wrists to make him stop][annoyed] Knock it off, Berry!

Bubble Berry: [disappointed] Whaaaaat!? [Applejack lets go of him, and Berry continues his improvised drumming]

Rainbow Blitz: They have to be able to carry the whole band on their shoulders! [Berry walks over to Blitz and begins drumming on Blitz’s head][angry] Stop it, Berry! That hurts!

Elusive: [worried] We've got to find an outlet for all his energy!

[Just then, Rainbow Blitz gets an idea.  His eyes light up and he sprouts a wide grin.]

[Next Scene: In the school music room.  Berry is sitting at a nice drumset, playing the drums.  All his friends are there, and are impressed with his performance.  After playing the drums for a while, he begins to power up. When his performance is over, Berry is exhausted for once, his hair is a mess and he has transformed into his Wondercolt form.]

Elusive: [fascinated] Whatever gave you the idea to put Berry on the drums?

Rainbow Blitz: [confident] I dunno.  Guess I just have a sense for these things…

[Berry plays a Rimshot]

[The end]
Here's the short for Bubble Berry.  A funny guy like him deserves a funny short.  Here are some notes...
The War- In both the human and pony world, Applejack's grandfather is a war veteran, and in both worlds he served a similar roll.  In the pony world he piloted a gyrocopter, and in the human world, he piloted a helicopter gunship in a war similar to Vietnam.  While he is open to talking about the horrors of war, he tends to get angry when people don't take it seriously enough.
"Your worse than my mom"-  This joke ties into some stuff I'm about write about Rainbow Blitz's mom.  Her name is Rainbow Dazzle and she has a bad habit of babying her son or her "little Rainbow" as she likes to call him.  Blitz is used to having his mother put him in uncool and unmanly situations which is why he comments that Berry is "Worse than my mom" when Berry accidently covers him in glitter.  Even though Rainbow Dazzle embarrasses him, Blitz still loves her very much and is in fact a closeted mama's boy.

From what I can tell in Rainbow Rocks, Sunset hasn't yet earned the trust of the school yet.

Question is, when exactly is that trust earned.....?

(Right now that remains to be seen as well.)

On a lighter note, Bubble seems to have as much sugar for blood as his female counter part.
