Premise[]

Roy and Viv turn the people of Earth into mindless dancers after wishing to write the catchiest song of all time as a way to save their parents' dance studio.

Plot[]

With Viv and Roy’s parents not bringing in enough business to run their dance studio, the newly found step siblings decide to help their parents however they can.

Viv and Roy decide to develop their own music video on social media in hopes that the video goes viral. After receiving brief assistance from Cosmo and Wanda, before leaving for a fairy business trip, Viv and Roy’s music video ends up being the most popular video in the world. At first everything seemed to be going great, but then things took off in a wrong turn.

After several people begin to listen to the new song over and over, people start turning into zombies (the non-people eating type). With the help of Dustan Lumberlake and his council of pop stars, Viv and Roy manage to turn everyone back to normal without any help from Cosmo and Wanda.

As Viv and Roy continue to spend more time together, their sibling bond begins to grow stronger, while the tension between Rachel and Viv doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
