What the Heck Happened to you, Berrycream?

## Credits ★ Source

"**What the Heck Happened to you, Berrycream?**" is the fifth episode of *Sparkle On, Raven: The Life of DrillGirl*. The episode premiered early to attendees of KalawaCon on October 1, 2023, and was published to YouTube on October 2, 2023 and was directed by Robby Fregosi.

## Synopsis

As the School holds its annual Cultural Festival, Berrycream's big secret comes to light after losing a valuable item. Raven and Dark Shi fight to retrieve this most precious item for her.

## Summary

A menacing darkness fills the frame before the sun immediately rises over Berrycream's house. Berrycream wakes up at 7am and can't reach her slippers just below her bed, so she jumps off the bed, takes a shower and walks up to her mirror and sink. Just as she's about to wash her teeth, she sees her reflection in the mirror. She is now a cute rabbit, and no longer a human. She screams in terror and the episode begins.

It's the Cultural Festival at School, an event where students and faculty can display their unique talents and skills, or where clubs can recruit new members. Now that new students from the Other School Down The Road have joined, the Cultural Festival is much more diverse and massive than before. Raven, DrillGirl, Dark Shi and Omen are holding a bake sale for Room 214 to raise money for an unspecified cause. Raven and Dark Shi (eating marshmallows on a stick) meet up near the bake sale and talk about how much more there is to explore this year, however Berrycream's absence quickly comes up since Dark Shi was led to believe she was with Raven.

Upon suspicion, Berrycream is immediately heard crying for 17 seconds straight in the batheroom. They rise to the occasion, and correctly identifying Berrycream inside the women's restroom. When they open the door, they are shocked to see a very pouty and sad Berrycream. Dark Shi says that she turned into "a beast", but Berrycream explains that she lost the magical bell from her uniform and that she turns into her bunny form when it's not on the uniform. Dark Shi finds this awesome, but Raven asks her how she lost it. Berrycream suspects she may have dropped it while preparing for the Cultural Festival. She mourns how she isn't able to be "normal like the other students".

While this is happening, DrillGirl and Omen (who bursts through the wall) provide a very large order of multiple pastries at Room 214's bakery, costing their customer $1700.38. Raven and Dark Shi vow to retrieve the bell for Berrycream, and they know the first place to go and look for it - the Room 424 World Domination Club. They all crash into the already repaired door and call for Lord Albert, but they're surprised to find a maid café instead of the menacing headquarters of a club leader. Albert creeps up on Raven, wearing a revealing Japanese maid outfit. He tells Raven that he isn't interested in having petty squabbles with her, that he doesn't need or want Berrycream's bell, and that he's using this maid café as a recruitment of new members for his club. He berates Raven's ignorance in thinking he was involved with the bell going missing, and offers her the option of either enjoying the café at a free booth, or facing their wrath.

We see Raven upset and Dark Shi with a Mondo Bev in hand at the free booth, the window next to which is now broken. Berrycream is hiding in Dark Shi's backpack as they realize this quest will be harder than imagined. They are left with the option of just brute-forcing through every event at the Festival to see which place has the bell. Unfortunately, there are too many as Dark Shi pulls out a comically long list of the Festival events. This frightens Berrycream and Raven.

In a montage, they check (among many others) the Vegan Tokoyaki Stand, the Drama Club, the Scare Club, the photobooth, the Afterschool Blades Club, and Room 666. At the Audeytoryum, Strawberry is performing "Lunchtime Fun" for a concert. Raven approaches her mid-song and asks if she saw her bell, and Strawberry quietly shoos her off. They exit the concert and ask a bunch of random people if they've seen the bell, including Ryan Sasuke who responds "yes" but Raven ignores (since she doesn't like him). Dark Shi is upset at Raven for ignoring the affirmative response and tells her they should go back to talk to Ryan. Raven begrudgingly agrees.

## Revelations

* Berrycream Frosting is not human, and has actually been using a magical bell in her uniform to augment her physical form.
	+ This reveal was originally made matter-of-factly on Twitter/X by the showrunner Robbydude, where he told followers his favorite shot of the opening sequence was Chupachups' shot with Berrycream (in her bunny form) and Reno Bee - claiming it was a transformation viewers hadn't seen yet and that the crew "haven't had a moment to use it yet". The implications from this shot may be subject to theories.
* Omen is strong enough to break through walls.
* The room number for Raven and DrillGirl's classroom is revealed to be Room 214.
* Room 424's door was patched together with sticky tape following the last visit Raven, Berrycream and Dark Shi made there, only for it to be broken again.
* Multiple other clubs are revealed in this episode, including:
	+ Cricket Club
	+ Fencing Club
	+ Clubs Club
	+ Enthusiast Coaster Club
	+ Drama Club
	+ Patch Notes Reading Club (only in notes)

	+ POOMP Club (only in notes)
	+ The Collector's Club
	+ the defunct Lost and Found Committee from the Other School Down The Road
* Angie (last seen in "DrillGirl Saves Santa Claus!") is revealed to have romantic feelings for Ursula.
	+ In addition to this, the school has a Japanese-style *purikura* photo booth. (Note: *purikura* is short for "*purinto kurabu*"; print club.)
* The rooms in the School go up to the number 666.
* The School has an auditorium.
* Strawberry is able to sing remarkably well.
* A loophole exposed during the merge of the School and the Other School Down the Road allowed for the merge of two clubs.

## Trivia

* The credits song for this episode is "ChuChu Lovely MuniMuni MuraMura PrinPrin Boron Nururu ReroRero" by Maximum the Hormone. Meeks, one of the series' animators and voice actors, had been asking to use this song as early as episode 2, but briefly considered using a jumpstyle song and having Kipp dance to it.
* The animation and voice acting from Raven's introduction in "The Perfect Perfect School Year", where she says "My name is Raven", is reused in this episode.
* Kipp's name is never uttered in the episode (it's found in the credits), and so he is assumed to be nameless to the protagonists.
* This episode is where the most content has been claimed to be cut.
* In a livestream with Mar Katoto (voice of Strawberry), Dollip Daze revealed that the "Okay..?" reaction Raven gives Dawn to her awkward "pachinko moment" was, subconsciously, a reference to cadence with which Blake Belladonna said the same line in *RWBY*'s third episode "The Shining Beacon, Pt.2".

## Errors

* The opening sequence's audio has a brief milisecond-long bump every time a new cut or effect appears. Robby has claimed on an October 8, 2023 livestream this was due to the editing being done on Magix Vegas and there being audio issues with the software.
* In the post-credits scene, the audio cuts in and out intermittently.
