Ch. 11: One Small Thing

In another part of the castle, Skystar was quietly sobbing out bubbles, but she just kept telling herself "It's probably for the best."

Musical Number: One Small Thing

Then out of nowhere, Shelly and Sheldon popped up. Pinkie was using them as puppets. Skystar looked and saw her and the others.

Pinkie (Shelly): Hey now, don't be sad
Pinkie (Sheldon): I know we cannot stay
Pinkie: But we've got a couple minutes
And a little time to play

Skystar: I know you have important things
So it's okay, just go

Pinkie: But we can still pick one small, little thing
To do with you, y'know!

Sonic: "Cmon, let's have some fun! Ha-ha-ha!"

Pinkie: One Small Thing doesn't seem like a lot
One Small Thing, work with the time you've got
Soon One Small Thing becomes two
After two, perhaps another few
Then One Small Thing is not so small
One Small Thing can be the biggest thing of all

Sonic: "So? Whaddaya say?"

Skystar: *giggles* All right now, since you're here
Let's see what we can do
Swim with the flow until you go
Together, me and you

Pinkie: I got necklaces for every fish
So what else do ya got?

Skystar: Well, we could play the bubble-fish
You'll like this one a lot!

Then Sonic whipped out a trumpet and started playing.

Pinkie and Skystar: One Small Thing, it's a good place to start
(Everyone else: Just One Small Thing)
One Small Thing and we don't seem so far apart
(Don't seem apart)

Then the others all started getting the other sea-ponies in the city in on the action.

All: Soon One Small Thing leads to more
It's so much more than there was before
Just One Small Thing, and you will see
The start of something big for you and me

Sonic started beating on coral and rocks for a beat as Queen Novo swam out to see the ruckus.

Pinkie: One Small Thing
(Sea-ponies: Just One Small Thing)
Skystar: Or a tall thing
(Just one tall thing)
Fluttershy: Or a sing thing
(Just one sing-y thing)
Rarity: Or a bling thing
All: Just one bling-y thing

Applejack: A conga thing
All: Yeah, a conga thing
Rainbow: Or a longah thing
All: Just one longah thing
Pinkie: A blue thing, true thing, you thing
(Sea-ponies: Oooh-oooh)
Skystar: A we thing, sea thing, me thing!
(Oooh-oooh-oooh!)
Both: So many things and everything until our time is done
There's One Small Thing for each and everyone…!

Then Queen Novo swam over and the gang got her in on the last of the jam session.

Skystar: One Small Thing, so much we can create
You and me, we started something great
It's so amazing, look around
At all the happy sights and sounds
One Small Thing is big, it's true
You did this all for us
I just wish there was One Small Thing
An extra special kind of thing

Skystar and Sea-ponies: That we could do for you!

All: One Small Thing!

Sonic: "Yeah!"

"Woo!" whooped Novo and laughed.

"Yeah, ya feel that?" Sonic asked, chuckling as the others moved for a group hug. "That's what ye're missin' out on up at the surface."

"Well, I guess there is one small thing we can do," said Novo.

"YES!" said Sonic and laughed grabbing the others. Then some sort of alarm started blaring, making everyone gasp. "What's that noise?"

"That's the alarm for the pearl!" said Novo as she swam back to the castle.

"The Pearl?" asked Sonic. Then he heard someone yelling from the castle. Then he remembered; The only one left in the castle was Twilight! "Oh, tell me she didn't!" Quickly, everyone swam back to the castle and saw Twilight trying to grab the pearl from the jellyfish, and getting stung every time she struggled. "Twilight, are you out of your mind?!" Novo just growled and grabbed the pearl away.

"No! Please!" yelled Twilight. Sonic quickly swam up and grabbed her away from the angry queen.

"All of this so you could sneak in and take the pearl?!" she asked angrily. Then she pulled Skystar up to her. "This is why we don't bring strangers into our home!" Then she turned back to Twilight and Sonic. "You don't deserve to be one of us." Then the pearl's magic started flowing over them again.
