Plot

Rudie is looking at donuts in the window of a bakery but an annoying ringing sound from a rainbow bubble is preventing him from hearing G on the phone so he decides to just get one of everything. He brings the donuts home for the girls, but the persistent ringing is driving them crazy. It turns out the rainbow bubble was following behind him for two days.

Angel informs everyone that it's a message from Madame Shout, and Rudie remembers he entered them in the Bubble Land Yum Yum Delectabubble Band Competition. When the bubble pops, a hologram of Madame Shout appears and formally invites them to the competition. Rudie asks for more details, but Madame Shout assures him it's going to be worth it. They have to pick one song to perform, both G and Music want to try out their song, but Love says to wait until later to decide. Baby squeals in the delight at the thought of bubbles.

Once they enter Bubble Land, they notice everything and everyone is contained in a personal bubble. Madame Shout introduces herself in person. She takes them to their own "bubble of happiness."

She mentions all the bands will be staying there where they will be "contained" although she quickly corrects herself to "maintained". Love says it's too good to be true. Madame Shout gives the girls a tour of their bubble, which include a kitchen, comfy sitting area, and a personal stage.

Music and G begin singing, which seems to irritate Madame Shout. The girls notice the Tanaka Boys in an adjacent bubble, who seem to be trying to tell them something, but the bubble they are contained in is soundproof. Madame Shout darkens their bubble and says all bands should be able to play in peace and quiet. She then exits the bubble.

Music and G elect Baby as the judge for the song to play in the competition. G sings a pop song while Music sings a rock song. Baby has a hard time trying to pick her favorite.

Love makes an observation that the bubble is made of some sort of elastic material unlike a traditional soap bubble. G and Music argue over which song is better when Madame Shout comes in with two squirrels. She says they're judges, but Rudie, skeptical of the whole situation, thinks the squirrels are more like soldiers.

Madame Shh offers to listen to the girls perform from outside the bubble with the "butler" (Rudie). The squirrels carry him outside of the bubble. As the girls are performing, Rudie notes that he can't hear anything. He offers to take a look at the sound system for Madame Shh but she ignores him.

G asks if the sound system is broken but Madame Shout reveals that there is a sound-less system in Bubble Land. She reveals to hate sounds, so she created a bubble system in place to remove it all. She traps Rudie inside a containment bubble, and reveals her real name to be Madame Shhh. Love attempts to find out what material the bubbles are made of, and after giving a long winded answer, she admits she can't figure it out.

Music mentions that no one will ever listen to their music again, so she punches the bubble which seems to propel it forward. Love mentions that she moved it and was able to hack into Madame Shh's travel bubble coordinates. Angel asks if they can go home now, but Love says the bubble is being controlled by an outside force. The girls bounce towards Rudie's containment bubble, knocking it out of the way. The bubble bounces as the girls head outside of the containment bubble and head through the city.

They notice the other citizens have also been trapped and G thinks they should rescue them but Music points out that's not their biggest concern. A squad of squirrels are seen preparing to attack on scooters. The bubble bounces out of control, but Love is able to come up with a plan to pop the bubble on top of Madam Shh's tower.

The squirrels on scooters begin pursuing them. Love mentions that the vibrations of singing can move the bubble faster. They begin to sing Squirrels on Scooters and are able to outrun the squirrels, but they mistime their jump and end up getting flung straight up in the air.

They hit the top of Bubble Land's bubble border, which sends them straight down, hitting the needle of Madame Shhh's tower and bursting the bubble. The protective bubble barrier around Madame Shh's tower pops, along with the rest of the bubbles in the city, freeing the citizens. Despite freeing the citizens, the girls are trapped at the top of Madame Shhh's tower when they notice five abandoned scooters in the floor below them.

Rudie explains that he got the scooters by converting the squirrels into fans of HJ5. As he pats himself on the back he falls over the edge but Baby manages to make the save.

The girls use the scooters to escape, and Madame Shhh swears they haven't heard the last of her but Music drives by and steals her wand saying she hasn't heard the last of them. Rudie expressed his disdain for being referred to as the "butler" and starts to ramble on before Music zaps him with the bubble wand saying that bubbles do have their place and the girls laugh as they fly back to Harajuku on their scooters.

Rudie: What, G? I can't hear you, there's a ringing in my ears. I still can't hear you! Ugh, fine! One of everything, please.

[Rainbow ringing]

Rudie: Oh, HJ5, guess what your favorite manager brought you!

HJ5: Donuts!

[Rainbow ringing]

Love, Music, and Baby: What is that?

Rudie: Donuts, you just so said yourselves.

G: No, not those, Rudie. That rainbow bubble floating behind you.

Rudie: No idea, but it's been following me for two days. Weird, huh? Oh, yeah, and it keeps making that super annoying sound too.

Angel: Rudie, don't you realize what this is? It's a message bubble from Madame Shout!

Rudie: Wait, Madame Shout? The lady who sponsors that bubble band contest I entered you guys in? The one who was supposed to get back to me weeks ago? Heh, guess she's been trying to reach me.

Madame Shhh: Greetings, HJ5. I would like to formally invite you Bubble Land to compete in my Yum-Yum-Yum Delectabubble band competition. The winner will receive a recording contract.

HJ5: [Cheers]

Rudie: Whoa, whoa, wait a second. What kind of contract? How long?

Madame Shhh: Oh, let us not sully the iridescence at the moment with such sordid details. But rest assured, it will be many, many years.

[Pop]

Rudie: Now we're talking!

Madame Shhh: You will play one song and one song only. See you all soon here in Bubble Land!

G: Hey, we could try out my new song.

Music: Or we could try out my new song instead.

Love: We can decide that once we get to Bubble Land.

Baby: Bubble Land, bubbles, yay!

HJ5: [Cheer]

Rudie: Whoa! Not again.

Music: Whoah!

Angel: Check it out.

G: Everything's inside a bubble.

Love: Everyone's inside a bubble.

Baby: I want my own bubble.

Angel: Look, it's Madame Shout.

Madame Shhh: Welcome to Bubble Land. G, Love, Angel, Music, Baby. Tra-lala-lala! And of course, your butler! I hope you've got a good song prepared for the Yum-Yum-Yum Delectabubble band competition. I'll show you to your band's very own bubble where you can stay and rehearse. Hold on to your bubbles, everyone! Tra-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!

Madame Shhh: And here we are, HJ5's very own bubble of happiness!

Angel: Someone pinch me! Except you.

Madame Shhh: All the performers will be staying in this area where I can keep you contained. I mean, maintained, in the manner you deserve. Tra-lala!

Love: It's almost too good to be true.

Madame Shhh: Please, go right on in.

Love: Hmm...

Madame Shhh: Your kitchen, where your butler will prepare your deluxe bubbly meals. Look! Bubble food!

Madame Shhh: Your comfy sitting area! Tra-lala!

Baby: Ooh, bubble seats!

Madame Shhh: And don't forget your very own stage! With a very special sound system, we can hear your song everywhere in Bubble Land.

G: [Singing] We're in Bubble Land!

Madame Shhh: Oh, my, that sound certainly is loud and clear.

Angel: Hey, look!

Music: Aren't those the Tanaka Boys?

G: Yeah, what are they saying?

Baby: I'm really super excited to see you guys, too!

Love: We can't hear you!

Madame Shhh: And now we can't see them either! Hahaha! Eh, it's for the best - They were just distracting you and everyone deserves peace and quiet in their own bubble, don't you think? Bye for now, HJ5! Tra-lala!

G: Okay, Baby, we're both going to take turns and you pick which song we should sing.

Baby: Um, me? Really?

G: [Singing] Uh-oh, bubbles I see, tiny bubbles, follow me! Ohhh-oh-oh!

Baby: Ooh, that's really great!

Music: [Singing] Bubbles, bubbles, around my head! Bubbles floating on a breath of air!

Baby: Wow, I like that too!

G: [Singing] Never gonna touch the ground! Take some trouble to catch that bubble! How does that sound?

Baby: So good! Wait, was that a question?

Music: [Singing] You can chase the bubbles, you can try and pop them! Don't try and struggle cause you're never gonna stop a bubble! Bubbles, bubbles, nothing can compare! Bubbles, bubbles, floating in the air like me! Well?

Baby: I love both!

G/Music: Pick one!

Love: Fascinating! The bubble material is elastic but quite strong, unlike a traditional soap bubble. I've never seen anything like it. I need to figure out the composite materials.

G: You know, your tough girl song is really great, like you, but I think my happy fun song suits Bubble Land better.

Music: Really? I feel like Bubble Land is too soft. It could really use some of my edge.

G: Um, Edge's pop bubbles?

Madame Shhh: [Singsongy] Are we ready?

Baby: Um... who are those guys?

Madame Shhh: My... fellow judges.

Rudie: Really? They look more like squirrel soldiers. By the way, I didn't get a copy of the contract.

Madame Shhh: Your butler and I will listen from outside.

Rudie: I'm their manager, not their... hey!

Madame Shhh: It's only from outside the bubble that you will get the full effect of the sound system.

G/Music: Hmm?

Rudie: I'm not hearing anything. Can you hear anything?

Madame Shhh: Sweet, sweet silence.

Rudie: I think your sound system's on the fritz. Want me to take a look at it? Seriously, as their manager, I've become kind of an expert with this sort of thing. Oh! It shouldn't take me too long to-

Madame Shhh: Shh!

Love: Something's wrong.

Madame Shhh: Can you hear me?

G: Is the sound system broken?

Madame Shhh: No, Bubble Land has a sound less system. Isn't it delicious? It's the way life should be lived, quietly. Don't you agree?

Music: No, we don't agree! Let us out of here!

Madame Shhh: But Music, you can continue to enjoy your own noise and no one is disturbed by you. That makes life nice for everyone.

Angel: Madame Shout, how about if you just let us out and we'll go home and not bother you?

Madame Shhh: This is the only way to live. Loud things have their own bubbles so I don't have to hear them.

Rudie: Just hold on a minute there, Madame Shout!

Madame Shhh: It seems nearly impossible with all the annoying sounds you make, but I almost forgot you were there. And for the record, my name is not Madame Shout. It's Madame Shhh!

Rudie: Eeee-! Aaah, help!

Music: Honestly, can't say I blame her.

Love: I think I've got it. You know how plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances?

Angel: No, but we're used to it.

Love: Well, some plastics are partially crystalline and partially amorphous, but our bubble is completely amorphous.

G: Love, cut to the chase.

Love: I have no idea what this bubble is made of.

Music: You needed all those words to say that? No one will hear our music ever again! [Growls] Whoah, I know I've got a mean right hook, but...

Love: Actually, that was me. I hacked into Madame Shhh's travel bubble coordinates.

Angel: Can you fly us home?

Love: No! In fact, I can't even control where this bubble goes!

Baby: Hey, there's Rudie's bubble!

Rudie: Hey! Whoa! Help!

G: There are a lot of people trapped in bubbles. We have to get them out.

Music: I don't think that's our number one priority.

Love: Quick! Grab something to hang on to!

HJ5: Whoa! I've got it! See that tower over there? That's Madam Shhh's tower! We're going to pop this bubble on that pointy tower. Ooh!

Baby: Squirrels on scooters!

G: Can we make our bubble go faster?

Love: I'll calculate an algorithm based on air velocity and sound vibrations.

Angel: How's that going to help?

Love: If you sing something, the sound will create vibrations and move this bubble faster. But you need to calculate how fast...

Music: Let's just improvise.

Baby: G, Music, hit it!

G/Music: [Singing] Squirrels on scooters, trying to stop us! Squirrels on scooters, look here they come! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Love: Everyone needs to sing!

HJ5: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Squirrels on scooters! Hope they don't catch us! Squirrels on scooters!

Baby: It's working! We're moving faster!

Music: And I think we've got a new song!

HJ5: We do! [Screaming]

[Bubbles pop]

G: Uh, Love, did you have an escape plan for this part?

Angel: Hey, look down there!

Music: Looks like an escape plan to me.

G: Girls, on scooters!

HJ5: Whoaah! [Grunts]

Rudie: No need to thank me. I got you these scooters meet my newest band. I'm thinking about calling them- Whoah! Can I catch a ride?!

Baby: I got him!

Rudie: [Screaming] Thanks!

Music: Let's blow this bubble!

Madame Shhh: Oh- oh! You and your butler haven't seen the last of me, HJ5!

Music: You haven't heard the last of us!

G: It'll be a while before I even take a bubble bath, or blow bubbles, or do anything bubble related.

Rudie: Why does she keep calling me her butler? I mean, what part of me doesn't scream manager? I got the suit, the business cards, the cell phone!

Baby: [Laughs]

Music: Bubbles have their place.

HJ5: [Laughs]
