An idle mind is a dangerous thing, and Zipp Storm is a detective with no current cases. In the dog day doldrums of summer, suspicions sometimes see signs that aren't there.
Unless of course Zipp is right, and Pipp really is possessed by a ghostly diva from centuries past.
Contains: Paranormal (in)activity, supercharged imaginations, out-of-character creepiness, and Pipp chasing clout via memes.
This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.
oh darling!
I just wanted to know what being alive again felt like
Makes me wonder which mane 6 she's gunna discover Hitch is cosplaying as when she gets back.
A fun little story. Fleshes out the world, feels like it could've been an episode of Tell your Tail, or at least the set up could be.
Oh darling!
I so appreciate you all remembering us, and your acting was magnificent.
Um....that was weird. Though it kinda makes me wonder how Pipp and Rarity would get along.
Never change, Pipp.
It's Rarity's ghost isn't it?

I'm getting "Ghost Nappa Haunts A Unicorn" vibes from this.
It's a nice little time of sisterly bonding! I myself am only starting to catch up on Tell Your Tale, and in hindsight, I'm glad I am because it's only made me appreciate the very light-hearted tone of it all, especially the twist. There's not much else left to say, really, other than that it's a nice exploration in Pipp and Zipp's chemistry. It's good to know, though, how concerned Zipp is for her.
And that fake-out about Posey getting Applejack instead of Fluttershy for the Snapchuff meme(?) made me mentally stand up.
Thanks for the little
Pipptrip, Casketbase!Lol Twitter and Facebook and no Facebook is still alive it's just not popular anymore there's so many social media these days now
Yeah that was some crazy time there huh
Ohh it's one of those huh lol 😆
Oh wow I was not expecting that lol anyway it was slow at the sheriff but funny thing happened zipp has not see pipp post anything for a while so she check up on her but when she got there Mane Melody she saw a couple of clothes which that's not her style and pipp was acting really weird she was talking like Rarity and looking like her and Zipp was really worried about her but after zipp freaking out pipp told her that this was a challenge to pretend to be like the main 6 in a hour again I thought it was like the past g4 spirit came around but ok lol anyway this was pretty good keep up the good work 👏
I can't begin to describe how enjoyable this fic is! That hook in the description and beginning are powerful, and the whole way through radiates so much satisfaction! As always with your stuff, absolute magnificence! Hope ya don't mind, but I couldn't resist making a reading of this mysterious fic of yours!

Looking forward to it.
Apologies in advance for the tongue twister line of "all old timey music."

That “Snapchuff” challenge sounds entertaining; I might attempt it for funsies, who knows.
Anyway, your writing style is a pleasure to read, haha.
Delightful stuff. I'm sure Sunny appreciates the greater historical awareness.
Hm.
Plus, Pip looks really cute with that hairstyle like Rarity.
You laugh, but we thought ancient Greek statues were plain, unadorned marble for the longest time
Zipp rolling Pinkie wouldn't be too bad.
Now Fluttershy? That would be torture.
Besides, Hitch rolling Pinkie is much funnier, I think. :-p
A darn shame that it wasn't Rarity after all... Though that's probably my Raribias talking
Penelope as Pipp's full name? Headcanon accepted!
Which is why Zipp, famed historian and mathematician(?) knows an obscure phrase from it. Sidenote, I'm in Europe for the week. Its strange to see even my friends speaking French.
Ach! Both are bullshit. The only real site is... tum..horse. Tumhorse.
I get the feeling this comment is your attempt to lampshade your own writing hangups, which is something I relate to.
I'm not averse to Rarity sprinkling choice French- in fact, I wish she did more of it in canon. But this dialogue seems... off. Like a slight twinge of parody towards her normal patterns.
Aside from that, and my slight disappointment at not getting a Thriller ending, it's a perfectly unspecial pass- at least better than my throwaway snippets, like Bon Bon being in lesbians with a biome.

Consarnit, what is your damn secret, Casket?
Lol, I can see this happening, though it does raise the question of where G5 Equestria got such detailed knowledge of the main 6 from G4 Equestria. Great little story though, may it be well read and receive many likes.

Wish I knew too. Would love a reading for my fics.
Getting featured is probably a requirement though.
Honestly, that was a kind of cool twist on the whole ghost thing.
Not what I expected, but still kind of sweat that the Mane Six are still historical figures, at least.
Funniest line in the story.
Somewhere, somehow, Rarity is choking at having her name associated with this.
Aww! You dressed up and everything!
I would have liked to have seen that!
