Twilight is given the responsibility of studying an artifact from Panacea Bo, an ancient unicorn doctor said to be able to cure any disease. When Twilight learns that Applejack is stuck sick in bed, Pinkie Pie assists Twilight in giving it a field test.

My attempt at The Iron Author contest at Everfree Northwest. Participants had to write up to 2000(ish) words in 2 hours using 4 prompts, and authors had to use 3 of the 4 prompts in their story.

Minor spoilers below

The prompts were:
Setting: The canterlot vaults
Theme: Laughter is the best medicine
Object: An artifact
Character Type: A princess
