==Biography==
===Can't Stop the Feeling!===
Sara is shown to be a normal-looking woman, partying with her friends in the living room. The screen shows Wanderlust, where he plays with Discoball via playfully bouncing it. The view focuses mainly on Sara, who is focusing on him. As Wanderlust continues to play with Discoball, they quickly bounce forward and out of the screen, manifesting as a greenish teal orb that lacks power. Sara slowly picks it up and looks at the screen, where Wanderlust is now looking through the screen and at her, slowly extending his hand. The hand manifests out of the screen, and in a beckoning gesture. As Sara smiles and slowly offers Discoball back, it begins to activate as Wanderlust's hand touches on it, dragging Sara with him and into their adventure towards other worlds.
Their destinations are short, and only covers a segment of the song. The first verse features them landing in a laundromat within a city, where Liza Friday is seen walking into the scene to observe and dance with the duo. Afterwards, they quickly reach to an icy planet, where they encounter Temperature (P2) in one of the ice platforms. In two different parts in the choruses, they encounter I Like It (P3), who is in an eccentric tropical resort by himself, and (P2) of The Cosmics, who lives in a sci-fi outer space "ringed" metropolis that is situated near to an alien planet.
Towards the end of their routine, Sara, Discoball and Wanderlust appear to reunite with the other four dancers, dancing and having fun with them. However, their celebration is cut short by the arrival of Night Swan, who emerges from the horizon and covering the sunset. With her dark yet unknown powers, she engulfs (P2) of The Cosmics, I Like It (P3), Liza, and Temperature (P2) and dissolves them to an unknown location. By fear or instinct, Wanderlust quickly takes Sara's hand and escapes with a portal to Luz Solar Retail Therapy.
