Then the {{color|deeppink|pink}} words "LET US BE THE ONE YOU TURN TO" flash in time with the lyrics of the music ("Let us be the one you turn to / Let us be the one, let us be the one"). Then a small group of sparkles move around in different directions until they form the words "'''LET US BE THE ONE!'''" (tilted at an angle). A {{color|deeppink|pink}} glow flashes behind the words as they zoom towards the camera. Then it cuts to the ABC logo from before as it slowly zooms out. | ||

The lines then tilt clockwise with streaks shooting left. A black circle then fades in where the letters to the ABC logo flash dimly. The streaks continue to shoot left. | ||

The blue surface covers the rest of the black background as the text zooms in.

The text then flies past the camera while tilting upward to reveal it being made of red and blue layers. The camera pans to a blue gradient background where a {{color|gold}} ABC logo quickly assembles itself while various geometric shapes fly around it. It then settles against an orange gradient with more dust in the background. | ||

The camera pans around it as the glass ball flies through the "O" and the rest of the word "TOGETHER" forms with a shiny metal finish.
