8. Clip Trot
Pipp was in front of the Crystal Brighthouse, looking at her phone. In the background, a video of bunnies wearing glasses and hats was playing in sync with the song's rhythm.
Bunny, bunny
Do the bunny-unny-unny
Bunny, bunny
Do the bunny-unny-unny
Kick up your paws and slide to the right
Shake your tail, now, side to side
Do a little zip and bring it up quick
Hop around and let's see you twist...
Pipp gasped at the video and squealed. "Ponies!" she called out to her friends, wanting to show them what she just found.
Meanwhile, inside the Brighthouse, Sonic was considering applying for a job he could apply for to earn some money and compensate his friends since he was living for free. Sunny, Izzy, Hitch, and Zipp were trying to help, although Sunny was trying to change his mind more.
"Sonic, it's okay," Sunny assured again, thinking Sonic was in a little. You don't have to pay us anything, really," she said as the rest nodded in agreement.
"I do. Even if I'm not from this dimension, that doesn't mean I have to leave for free and have my life here granted. I need to earn my money the right way," Sonic stated, not thinking about changing his mind. "Besides, the fact that I'm from Equestria isn't an excuse for me to not have my own money."
"Well, if you're interested in the job, I'm still looking for a new deputy," Hitch suggested. "You just have to do the same thing I do, except for some specific ones, of course."
"I usually wouldn't mind, but I don't think you'll accept 'Gotta go fast' as a medical condition," Sonic joked around, getting laughs from the others. "But seriously talking, technically, you still would be paying me your own money, even if it's in different circumstances," he pointed out.
Before the conversation could continue, Pipp opened the door with an exciting look. "Have you seen this Clip Trot? It. Is. So.Awe-some!" She sang the last word and showed her friends the video of bunny hip hop. Her friends looked surprised at the video, clearly never seen it before. Pipp looked at them and found it weird that they didn't know about the clip. "It's the Hip Hop Bunny Bop? The new dance craze? It's only got, like, a million hoof taps," she pointed out with a smirk.
"A million hoof taps?" Izzy questioned with a smile, "Surely you only need four!" she called out, clearly not getting what hoof taps mean, then she started to scat and hoove tapping on the floor with a little dance.. She saw her friends looking at her weirdly since that was a little weird to see. Izzy then chuckled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. "Okay, you're a tough crowd..." she said to them, saving herself from embarrassment when her friends stared at her.
Pipp then came to Izzy with sparkling eyes. "We have to try it!" she said as she squealed. My pippsqueaks will be expecting it!" She placed her phone on a phone holder and tapped the record button. "Aaand five, six, seven, eight," she announced to her friends to get ready to show their skills in front of the phone.
Sunny smiled at her friends, convinced to try out Pipp’s idea. "Just listen to the beat, feel the rhythm, and... most importantly, be yourself!" Sunny advised her friends as she got in front of the camera and danced while the Bunny Hip Hop song started to play.
She danced a bit and then hopped away, while Izzy walked backward and laughed while dancing around with an added spin and waved her hooves; then she moved backward with a smile, waving at Zipp to come into the camera’s view. Zipp poked her head and then danced and flopped to the floor as she shook her head, made a backflip as she struck the landing, and walked backward. Sonic made Michael Jackson's moonwalk, stopped in front of the camera, break danced, and then made a backflip to get out of sight.
"C'mon, sheriff!" Sonic cheered up, and Hitch came into view of the camera and danced.
Hitch laughed and jumped a little, "Hitch has got it, uh-huh!" he cheered as he danced.
Izzy laughs as she and the rest of her friends, san Pipp, free dance as they listen to the rhythm.
Pipp, however, did not like what they were doing. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. "Cut! Stop. Stop it," she called out, but while the others stopped, Zipp continued to dance.
Zipp hummed as she still danced, getting really into it. She then flew and flew around, ending her dancing with a twirl in the air and landing back into the ground as her friends watched her in awe. "Yeah!" she cheered, "Upload that!" she called out to her sister, wanting to post that video with her moves.
"Way to go, Zippster!" Sonic said with a smile as he nicknamed Zipp like that, and surprisingly, she didn't get mad because she fist-bumped the hedgehog.
"I can not upload THAT!" Pipp protested. "That was nothing like the bunnies! Watch. It goes like this," Pipp added. Then she got in front of the group and put on her glasses as she danced to the music.
Time to get fluffy
I said it's time to get fluffy
Here we go now
Here we go
Bunny, bunny
Do the bunny-unny-unny
Bunny, bunny
Do the bunny-unny-unny...
Pipp then danced to the same moves the bunnies did in the video with effort grunts, which was a little way the least. Her friends looked at her weirdly and were a little disturbed by her trying to dance the bunny dance. But Sonic found it cute, although he wouldn't say it like that.
"Oh! Uh, is that the time?" Zipp said suddenly, trying to find a way out of Pipp’s weird bunny dance. "Gotta do that thing I was telling you about. Sunny, you remember? That thing?" she winked at Sunny as she chuckled and ran off.
Seeing where Zipp is going with this, Sunny decided to play along. "Uh... Uh, yeah! That... thing! Wasn't I supposed to help you?" she acted as well, then ran after Zipp.
"Me too!" Hitch called out as he ran after the two mares, leaving Sonic and Izzy with Pipp.
Pipp then stopped dancing as she took her glasses off. She looked at her two remaining friends, seeing that the rest were gone, as Izzy and Sonic looked at each other.
"Aaand yeah, I can't think of an excuse. Gotta go!" Izzy called out as she ran out of the house, leaving Sonic behind.
"Man, I never saw them running that quick before, and the fastest thing alive tells you!" Sonic chuckled a bit.
Pipp looked down, disappointed, upset that her friends left her while she danced. Sonic noticed her sad look and felt bad for her, so he smiled. He was the only one there, so his duty was to cheer her up. "Hey, Pipp, look at me," he pled to her as she faced him while blushing a little. "I'm sorry the rest ran off like that. It's just that we think the bunnies are the only critters that can make that dance look good and adorable," he tried to explain. "Although I have to say, you did make it kinda cute," he whispered in her ear.
This made Pipp blush and nervously laugh as she tried to speak clearly. "T-Thanks, Sonic..." she said clearly at last.
"Anytime, Pipp," he said with a smile, then started to walk towards the door. "Now, I'm going to take a little walk to find a job since I'm serious when I say I'm not staying for free. Wanna come with me?" he asked her while stopping at the door, thinking that maybe a walk could make her feel better. "You can distract your mind as well," he pointed out.
Pipp smiled at him and nodded after thinking about it for a while. "I would love to," she said, still blushing.
Pipp and Sonic walked through Maretime Bay. Pipp tried not to think about the video while Sonic listed a few jobs he was interested in on his phone and started to look for one that would fit him.
"Let's see... I could be a mailman... although no one writes letters that often anymore, so it would be a lost cause," Sonic said to himself, as he marked with an 'X' the 'Mailman' option in the list. "Maybe a Pizza delivery guy? No, my sonic speed would leave the pizzas made a mess," he was concerned, as he also marked an 'X' on the 'Pizza delivery guy' option. "Maybe I should accept Hitch's offer to be his deputy... then again, he technically will be paying me his own money, even if is for a good job. Say, Pipp, don't you need any help with Mane Melody? Besides Jazz and Rocky, I mean," Sonic asked the pegasus.
"Hm?" Pipp said while looking at him in a bad mood. "Uh, no. We're good, Sonic. Don't worry," she assured, a little down.
Sonic noticed that but decided to let her get lost in her thoughts. Soon, they were walking next to the Mane Melody, and Pipp gasped when she saw a familiar pony coming out. Jazz was coming out of the salon, ending her daily job for the day, then she turned and saw Sonic and Pipp there.
"Hey, Jazzy-babe, loving that hooficure!" Pipp said to Jazz with a cheerful tone. "Cu-ute!" she said in admiring Jazz’s hooves. Sonic took a look and nodded in agreement with a smile, then returned his sigh to his phone.
"Oh, wow, thanks!” Jazz replied with a smile. "I just--" she tried to say but was cut off by Pipp.
"So, I could use your help on some like, amazing content," Pipp asked for a favor as she blinked with sparkles in her eyes and gave Jazz the phone.
Sonic automatically moved to Jazz's side, still looking at his phone for a job.
"And five, six, seven, eight!" Pipp cheered and began to dance as she sang the song while Jazz looked at Pipp strangely.
Come on, ponies
Show me what you got
I said show me what you got
Here we go now
Here we go!
As Pipp was dancing, Jazz looked at her with a cringe. Sonic looked for a second at Pipp, then returned to his phone. He immediately looked back at Pipp in disbelief, just putting an amused face on how Pipp was still trying to do that dance.
Yeah! Uh-uh-uh-oh-ooh! Who needs those ponies? Not me. I'll just do it myseeelf!
Pipp then panted a little while Sonic facepalmed in frustration. The point of the walk was to make her forget the thing, but it didn't work. Pipp turned to Jazz and Sonic to find out how she did it. "What do you think, guys?" she asked them to judge.
Sonic looked at her with a bored expression. "Am I telling you the truth, or are we still friends?" he asked sarcastically as Jazz pushed him hard on the shoulder and then spoke herself.
"Ah, I mean... It's... great," Jazz said while trying to think of the right words. "But…" she tried to explain, but she was interrupted when Posey came out of nowhere.
"That's so last week," Posey said, answering for Jazz while she smirked at Pipp in amusement.
Sonic rolled his eyes since he already knew Posey was like that, and Pipp looked at her in confusion. "Elaborate, Posey," Sonic asked with annoyance.
"What?" Posey replied as she laughed at the pegasus and the hedgehog. "Have you two been living in a cave?" she asked rudely as Jazz flinched at Posey’s comment.
After hearing the cave part, Sonic and Pipp looked at each other and started having flashbacks from last week.
A week ago, the Mane 5 and Sonic decided to go on a camping trip. Hitch suggested taking a break from all of the technology and took his friends camping in the woods. But as bad luck has it, it was raining where they set up their camp. So they refuged in a cave, and they were all soaked and wet from the rain outside and stood close to the fire for warmth while both Izzy and Sonic covered themselves with a blanket, as the four girls and Sonic glared at Hitch for getting them lost in the forest while trying to get back home.
"We're not lost!" Hitch said, trying to stay optimistic as he came up with the right words. "We're just... slowing down. Living life unplugged!" he stated with a smile.
"You should be glad those aren't my thunders, Trailblazer!" Sonic yelled out in anger as electricity came out of his body.
Pipp then tried to use her phone to see her stats and if anything new popped up but only received beeps, and she taped her phone repeatedly in frustration. "No canternet?" she groaned as this would be a long day without her phone.
Pipp shook her head to get out of the flashback, now knowing why she didn’t know of the Hip Hop Bunny video earlier, while Sonic just looked with a concerned expression. "Uh... kinda?" he answered Posey's question.
"So, no one does the Hip Hop Bunny Bop anymore?" Pipp questioned in shock, realizing the Hip Hop Bunny Bop was outdated.
Posey chuckled at Pipp’s realization. "Nope," Posey answered. "We're waiting for the next big thing," she added with a wave of her hoof.
And then Pipp smirked, coming up with an idea. "The next big thing, huh? Hmm…" she said, putting a hoof on her chin. Pipp then grabbed her phone from Jazz and pressed it, editing some videos into what she thought would be 'the next big thing.'
Both Jazz and Sonic looked carefully at Pipp’s editing and smiled. "Hmm. That really is gonna be the next big thing. Explode it!" she said with a smirk as she raised her hoof to Pipp and made a hoof bump.
"Aaand upload!" she said. as she uploaded the edited video to the web.
Do a little dip and bring it up quick
Trot to it now, let me see you twist
Look at you glow, look at you shine
Show me that spark, everypony, unite...
The video showed Pipp's friends dancing in front of a four-way split mirror with stars in the background. Rocky, Jazz, and Posey looked at the video with smiles.
"Now that is fire!" Rocky commented to the other two ponies.
"Hooftap!" the three ponies said in unison as they liked the video.
It's the pony hip hop!
The gardener earth pony poured water on her flowers as she hoof-tapped the video. She danced to the music but didn't notice McSnips growling because she was wetting him.
Do the pony-ony-ony
Pony pony
Do the pony-ony-ony
Everypony, everywhere
In Bridlewood, Alphabittle was tapping his hoof while bobbing his head and dancing to the song's beat. He twirled around with a smile, then hoof-tapped the video.
Trot to the beat, you can feel it in the air
Pony pony
And then, in a cave or so, two magical creatures that looked like raccoons somehow had a phone with them in their magic as they bobbed their heads to the music, loving it.
Do the pony-ony-ony
Pony pony
Do the pony-ony-ony…
In Zephyr Heights, Queen Haven and her fellow ponies watched the video on the big screens as they bobbed their heads to the music.
"Hooftap!" Haven cheered with sparkles and a smile as she backflipped while a random pegasus mare approached the screen.
"Hooftap!" the pegasus mare cheered as she somehow hooftaped the screen.
Back in Maretime Bay, the Mane 5 and Sonic looked at the video with smiles of joy.
"We. Look. Amazing!" Izzy cheered out with a smile.
"I've never seen so many hoof taps!" Sunny said with surprise. "I bet everypony in Equestria has seen this!" she added as the group smiled at the thought.
"Hey, pippsqueaks!" a filly voice spoke out loud as the Mane 5 and Sonic turned and saw three fillies, each of a different tribe. "You be Sunny, you be Izzy, and will be Pi-i-i-i-ipp." she said as she sang Pipp’s name.
Pipp smiled at her pippsqueaks as she spoke to them while the fillies giggled. "Or... How about you just be yourselves?" she said to the fillies, then gave a wink to Sunny, who smiled proudly at Pipp and winked back.
The fillies smiled a bit as they began to dance in their way.
"Yeah-hah! That's it! You got it!" Pipp cheered to the fillies as she laughed, and her friends smiled, except for Sonic, who was once again on his phone, looking for a job, and Izzy, who started beatboxing, scatting, and dancing.
"Is anypony getting this?" Izzy asked her friends as she continued to dance. "Because I'm an icon!" she cheered as she bobbed her head up and down, twirled around, and then jumped up and down.
The rest of the Mane 5 smiled at Izzy’s cheerful side and laughed a little. Then Hitch looked at Sonic and walked towards him. "So, who's the job searching going?" he asked curiously.
"Well, I just have one option left," Sonic confessed as he showed his phone to Hitch, and the others came closer to look as well. The remaining option was a job that required controlling the pegasi guards' speed since now they could fly better thanks to the students who said that Zipp was tough to fly. "I thought that it was far away, but then I remembered my sonic speed, so problem solved!" he stated, returning his phone to his sight.
"Wait, how did you know about the pegasi guards thing?" Zipp asked with suspicion.
"Your mom told me when I reunited with her and Alphabittle last week at the Crystal Tearoom," Sonic said calmly, looking at his phone.
Looking back at his friends, he found surprised expressions on Sunny, Izzy, and Hitch but shocked ones on Zipp and Pipp.
"I like tea, okay? I go there sometimes when Queen Haven has some free time," Sonic said with a bored face. "And I'm just bonding with those two; they'll be nice once you know them better. Besides, I needed to look for some jobs out of town in case none of the ones here convinced me. But those things aside, I didn't do anything bad," he explained to his friends as they came up with neutral expressions again.
"...So, when are you starting?" Sunny asked with a nervous smile after a few minutes of awkward silence.
"I'll have to check on Queen Haven to see my schedule," Sonic replied, then put his phone on his quills. "But I'll do that later; I think I'm just gonna 'stretch my legs' and call it a day," he said with a smirk and then ran off. "Gotta go fast, guys! See ya later!" he yelled out from a distance.
The Mane 5 laughed at Sonic's attitude, while Pipp looked enthralled at the figure of Sonic that gradually became more distant. Zipp noticed this and smirked as she thought about teasing her sister.
"You like him, don't you?" Zipp asked with amusement.
"Yes…" Pipp answered, almost sighing, until she realized what her sister meant and tried to correct herself. "I mean... what?! No! Of course not! Why would I like someone like Sonic?" Pipp asked, covering it up as she pretended to be confused and offended.
"Uh… Pipp?" Hitch said. "Zipp never said who exactly…" the sheriff revealed, as he laughed slightly along with the others.
This caused Pipp to realize that she had exposed herself. She blushed but smiled a little as her eyes sparkled, still entranced by the hedgehog from another dimension who had captured her.

Great chapter, and boy Pipp showing the bunny hop and tries to get her friends to do it but they did their own dance moves, and when Pipp showed them how it’s done, they ran off, leaving just her and sonic behind, and when they bump into Posey and Jazz, they told them that the bunny hop is out dated, and so Pipp made the next best video that is a combination of our heroes dances and they’ve gone viral, and looks like sonic now have a job and looks like Pipp just revealed her crush of sonic to her friends, oh boy this would be interesting, awesome job, keep up the great work

That’s not what I meant
I mean this form
i.pinimg.com/originals/66/09/d2/6609d240771741448cffc83e783c3982.png
11369648
OOOOH. I see
I read something else, sorry for that pal
11369723
True that, and when that egghead threatens something close to sonic, he takes that personally
11369648
Yeah! That form!
11369662
Super Sonic Blue for sure. I’m sure Eggman and his new ally wouldn’t want to face a incarnation similar to Goku. If Super Sonic Blue does appear then he sure Ultra Sonic appear as well as Sonic breaks his limits and soar into uncharted frontiers of untapped power of the Chaos Emeralds. They wouldn’t stand a remote chance of defeating Sonic!
11369732
No my question is. Where did it come from?
I wonder if Amy and Pip will be rivals later down the road.
11369763
Well it came from the idea of Super Sayian Blue from Dragonball Super series.
11369889
Ok
Are you going to do the Make Your Mark special right after Sunny-Day Diners?

Pipp better be glad Amy Rose is not around or is still back in Sonic’s dimension. Otherwise Amy would see Pipp as a competitor for Sonics heart while trying to be friends with her.
Good chapter😊
Well, they already discovered it 😆 (When Amy finds out she's going to see a big fight between them 😅)
