The Best Medicine, by EonAon

The Rainbooms' typical practice room rang out with their music. Between songs, Rainbow Dash said, "Hey Pinkie, are you feeling okay?"

"Why are you asking, Dashie?"

"Well, I saw you outside Canterlot General last weekend, and well, you're never sick."

"Oh, that. Don't worry Dashie, that was me testing out a idea I got from one of those old sayings you hear all the time."

This caught the attention of all the other Rainbooms. Sunset asked "What saying is that, Pinkie?"

"Well, I wondered if Laughter really is the best medicine, and it turns out it is! I gave the children's ward some entertainment, and encouraging them helped them about seven percent across the board."

"How can you tell that?" said Twilight. "Did you have a control group? Multiple trials? Seven percent of what?"

Sunset smiled. "Twilight, you're doing it again."

"Being obtuse or overthinking Pinkie Pie?"

"Yes."

Pinkie giggled, then said, "Also, the only thing negative about me is my blood. I'm an O negative donor and they always need that."

Author's Note:

You realize I'm going to analyze this.
I know. Just remember the last time we tried to study Pinkie Pie.
How could I forget? I still have the burn scars.

Did I miss something? When did Bacon Horse and her Beloved study Pinkie Pie? I want to see that!

Well, Twi, the 'control group' would be just about any other paediatrics ward entertainer (there are lots of them, even IRL).

It's not easy being O-. Not only are you hosed if you need blood, but the Red Cross stalks you like vampires.

Well, to be fair, she did kind of ask for it. If Pinkie claims to be undertaking a scientific experiment, you kind of expect that she will make sense for purposes of the experiment.

Pinkie giggled, then said, "Also, the only thing negative about me is my blood. I'm an O negative donor and they always need that."

Wait, is it safe for Pinkie to donate blood? I would think that would be a recipe for instant diabetes, since the donor won’t have Pinkie’s meta-narrative powers to help them handle insanely high blood sugar levels.

Once extracted, sugar quickly precipitates out of the supersaturated solution that is Pinkie's blood. The crystals are pink, smell of cotton candy and warm pennies, and act as a potent summoning catalyst. However, the only thing they actually summon is Pinkie Pie herself.

For now.

So how many people have a little Pinkie in them?
