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
