Everyone was in disbelief at what Poppy just said.

Branch: Poppy, you can't be serious! This guy's practically a master! That's like challenging a doll to a staring contest!

Poppy: I don't care! I want my sister back!

DJ Slick: A dance off, huh girl? What's in it for me?

Poppy: If we win, you have to let my sister go and change everything back to the way it was!

DJ Slick: And if we win?

Poppy looked down at the ground and sighed.

Poppy: ...You can take me instead.

Branch: Poppy, no!!!

DJ Slick: Then it's a deal!

The DJ held his hand out and Poppy looked up.

John Dory: ...On second thought, maybe we can just call it a day and-

All: JOHN!!!!

John Dory immediately went silent.

Branch: Poppy...you know what'll happen if we don't win.

Poppy ignored her husband's pleas and shook the DJ's hand.

DJ Slick: Yo, sis, flip the switch!

Diva nodded reluctantly and pulled a switch and disco music started to play.

🎶They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it (Ooh!)
You have to show them that you're really not scared (Ooh!)
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare (Ooh!)
They'll kick you, then they'll beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
🎶

Poppy wasn't intimidated, she took her phone out and connected it to a nearby speaker and started playing her own toons.

Poppy: Follow my lead, everyone.

🎶So, baby, come light me up, and, baby, I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous, but, baby, that's how I want it
A little less conversation and a little more "touch my body"
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
Got everyone watchin' us, so, baby, let's keep this secret
A little bit scandalous, but, baby, don't let them see it
A little less conversation and a little more "touch my body"
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you (Ooh, yeah) 
🎶

The DJ started getting irritated.

DJ Slick: Something no one can resist!

Diva sighed and pulled another switch.

🎶Final lap I'm on top of the world
And I will never rest for second again
One more time I have beaten them out
The scent of gasoline announces the end

They all said I'd best give it up
What a fool, to believe their lie-ie-ies!
Now they've fallen, I'm at the top
Are you ready now to die-ie-ie?
🎶

Everyone started to get knocked back from the hard impact.

Clay: Poppy, he's too powerful!

Poppy: No, he's not!

Poppy played another song on her phone.

🎶Just let me take you to a better place

I'm gonna make you kiss the sky tonight
Yeah, if you let me show the way
I'm so excited to see you excited
I'll take you to a better place, yoo-hoo
And, baby, you can love me on the way
We're flyin' up to outer space

I'm so excited to see you excited, yeah 🎶

DJ Slick: Oh no, you don't!

This time, the DJ pulled another switch, and everyone started getting knocked back further.

🎶Annie, are you OK?
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sound at the window
Then he struck you a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
🎶

This dance off didn't seem to be working, Poppy looked up at her sister who was still mind controlled, she saw the scepter flicker a little bit, and then saw Viva snap out of it for a split second before getting controlled again. Then she got an idea.

Poppy: ...Clay, do you still have that charm?

Clay: The one you gave me earlier? It's right here.

Clay took the charm out of his hair. Poppy quickly snatched it from him.

Poppy: Great, thanks!

Clay: Hey!

Poppy took a step forward holding the charm in her hand.

Clay: Whoa, whoa, hold on! What are you doing, Poppy?!

DJ Slick: Come to admit defeat? Ready to join us Disco Trolls?

Poppy took a deep breath before holding her hand out towards Viva, she began singing softly.

🎶I didn't know until I found you
Havin' the time of our lives, it takes two 
When I look up, the stars are brighter
Now I know everything's better with you 
🎶

Viva rubbed her eyes when she heard her little sister's voice, her eyes started turning magenta again. She saw Poppy singing to her, and then...she felt the urge to sing with her,

🎶You got me feelin' right, feelin' right
Feelin' like good vibes are at my door 
Every day, every night, ooh-ooh
I didn't know until I found you
Havin' the time of our lives, it takes two 
🎶

The two slowly walked towards to each other, their voices synchronized with one another. Poppy took Viva's hand and placed the charm there. It shimmered brightly as the bond between sisters grew.

🎶Now that you're with me, I can finally see
Colors that were up in my mind, mm-mm
Now that I'm with you, sparks are flyin' loose
Fireworks go off in my brain, and I'll never be the—
And I'll never be the same 
🎶

Poppy and Viva broke into a heartfelt duet, and the DJ's effects on the forest began to reverse.

🎶I didn't know until I found you
Havin' the time of our lives, it takes two, ooh-ooh-ooh (It takes two)
When I look up, the stars are brighter
Now I know everything's better with you, ooh-ooh (It takes two)
You got me feelin' right, feelin' right
Feelin' like good vibes are at my door (Good vibes are at my door)
Every day, every night, ooh-ooh (It takes two)
I didn't know until I found you ('Til I found you)
Havin' the time of our lives, it takes two (It takes two)

It takes me and you 
🎶

Just like that, the trees and grass turned back to normal, and the moon turned from a disco ball back to it's original form. The whole ordeal overwhelmed the scepter and it began to shatter. Poppy and Viva both hugged each other tightly, bursting into emotional tears.

Viva: Thank you...

DJ Slick: What?! What have you done?!

Poppy: I just freed my sister...I guess we win the dance off!

Clay: Viva!

Viva got a long squeeze from Clay, which took her by surprise.

Viva: Since when did you become a hugger...?!

Clay: Since I missed you so much!

Viva: That's a little tight, Clay...!

Clay: Oh, oh! I'm sorry!

Viva gasped for breath as soon as Clay let her go.

Clay: I can't wait 'til we get home, 'cause I have something I've really been wanting to ask you.

DJ Slick turned his attention to the shattered scepter, it was enough for one more trick before it shattered completely.

DJ Slick: Fine...fine, you win...but let's see if you can dodge this!

The DJ pointed the scepter right at Poppy who had her back turned. Viva quickly noticed and gasped.

Viva: POPPY, MOVE!!!!!

Viva quickly shoved Poppy out of the way at the last minute and she ended up getting zapped by the scepter. Poppy gasped when she saw what happened.

Poppy: VIVI!!!!!

Poppy ran up to her older sister and knelt down before her, Viva wasn't moving, her eyes were closed, and she wasn't breathing. Poppy put her hands over her mouth when she saw her condition...Viva saved her. Poppy carefully took Viva's hand in hers, but her heart immediately stopped. No pulse.
