And my three bodies split up and each one recieves a name. The first one closes his eyes and seeks for a bright, blue point.

I'll name this body Ar. He'll be as inofensive as the gas it's named from.

The blue point is easy to find. Here at the void, everything else is white.

She's Rainbow Dash. She seems to be floating in midair, and her wings are closed. So are her eyes. She's looks¡ing down, or at least she 's looking at the direction she thinks it's down. But here at the void, things like those don't exist.

Rainbow Dash seems sad. So, so very sad. It seems like the world has fallen upon her shoulders. But she's not crying. She's not screaming. She's just there, her eyes closed, her legs lifeless. She could be dead and nopony would have noticed it.

Ar approaches her, bur before revealing himself, he changes his body. He was invisible until now.

Now he has the body of a green earth pony. He's wearing a top hat and a black tuxedo. His fur is green. His mane is white. A pair of glasses cover his nose. He seems like any other pony of Equestria.

And Rainbow Dash, her eyes still closed, notices him. But she doesn't say anything.

"Hello," says Ar. "Welcome to the Void."

The pegasus smiles, but her face is still sad. Er wings flap a little as the mare opens her eyes and looks Ar in the eyes. She seems to have been crying, but her face is dry now.

And she doesn't say anything.

"Can you hear me? Can you see me?" asks Ar. "I want to talk with you. My name is..."

"I don't care." The mare interrupts my first body. Her voice sounds sharp, as if she wanted to kill me. Or die. "I don't give a damn about who are you, or what are you, or what is this place. Go away. Now."

"I think you need to..."

"I don't need ANYTHING!" Suddenly, her voice changes. She's not only sharp, but dangerous, deep, desperate. Dreadful. She screams and raises a hoof. His gesture is clear: she wants to hit Ar. "I don't need anything, ok?! I just want to be alone! I'm dead right now, and I want to have some kind of peace at last! So go away right now!"

Ar doesn't move. He knows that, if Rainbow Dash hits him, he'll feel a lot of pain. I will feel a lot of pain. But he stays at the place. Because our pain doesn't matter.

Ar talks. "Death is not..."

He can't finish the phrase. Dash moves her hoof, and suddenly Ar is bleeding and his mouth is filled with blood and pain.

"I said GO AWAY!" Finally, she's broken. Her voice is not a voice anymore. She's just a wild animal screaming, crying, letting the rage go and take control of her. "The last thing I want now is another lecture, okay?! I've had ENOUGH!" She keeps hitting Ar. It hurts, but he doesn't do anything to defend himself.

"I've been insulted!"

Hit. More blood.

"Analyzed!"

Hit. Something cracks and breaks.

"Used!"

Hit. Dash's hooves can be soft, but now they're hard as rocks.

"I've realized I'm a coward!"

Hit. The pain can't be described.

"I've realized I'm a monster!"

Another hit. Another hit. Another hit. It hurts so much.

"And now I want TO BE ALONE, SO GO AWAY RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR I'LL...!"

"Have you ever heard about lawyers?"

The soft, calm voice of Ar interrupts Dash's screams. He's bleeding a lot. His right eye is closed and he has lost his vision with it. His nose is broken. His face is unrecognizable. But his glasses are fine, hs hat is still in top of his head, his tuxedo is now red and his voice is still as sot and calm as before.

Dash has stopped. The question has confused her. "What the hay are you talking about?" she asks, this time without screaming. She's despising Ar. Her voice is filled with contempt. "Now you're talking about lawponies? Do you think you can just talk to me when I...?"

"So you've heard about them", interrupts Ar once more. The pain doesn't matter. Dash is more important. "Lawyers are experts on pointing little things. But sometimes, they look too close, and overanalyze whatever they're studying."

"I swear, in Celestia's name, that if you're even TRYING to lecture me like the green one did, I'l...!"

"I'm not analyzing you." Ar smiles. His teeth are covered in blood. "I just want to talk. I'm not Greentalk. I don't want to harm you. I'm just another being like you. I've been defeated. I've been killed."

Ar's eyes shine for a moment. Those eyes are showing a sadness beyond the imagibable.

"I've been killed like you, and now I wander the Void."

The words seem to calm her down. The pegasus frowns and looks at Ar angrily. "What do you want?" she asks. "I don't need any company. I want to be alone."

"That's not true." Ar frowns and looks at the pegasus eye to eye. "You don't want to be alone. You never want to be alone."

"There's no way you can now that."

"Of course there is." Ar smiles. "I know everything here in the Void."

Dash seems angry for a moment, and then she calms. "I give up", she says. "I just can't take it anymore. Stay here, go away... do what you want."

Her expresion changes. Now she seems defeated. Her voice is not sad, it's just monotone. "I don't even care anymore," she says. "I... I don't care."

"That's true." Ar looks at her deeply. "You don't even care anymore."

Doubt. Ar actually does care for Dash. He could lie to her. He could do the same thing than Greentalk and analyze her, and lecture her, and make her happy. It would be easy.

But it would be wrong.

She doesn't need his pity, nor his compasion. She needs anything. But she has to understand it yet.

"You don't care becouse you lost." Ar clears the blood out of his face. Slowly, his wounds start to heal, but there's no sing of magic in the process. "You were defeated by Greentalk, and now you're so ashamed of yourself that you think nothing is important anymore."

Dash doesn't move. But her expresion is clear: my first body has hurt her. "...Exactly," she says.

"And the worst thing is that Greentalk defeated you just by talking." Ar keeps on saying those things. He keeps on hurting the pegasus. "Because you truly thought those things. You were in love with Applejack, but you only cared about yourself. You are a selfish, dumb mare."

Anger. There's a line that Ar can't cross, or Dash will attack him again. And he's stepping on that line. "You can stop now, thank you."

"You are saying that because you can't deny what I'm saying." Ar closes his eyes so the sight of Rainbow can't distract him. "Because you're still hurt about all of this. Because Greentalk just cleared the floor with you and you died."

Silence. Ar can't see Dash. He's waiting her to punch him, but the hit doesn't come.

Then, he smiles.

"You need to understand, Dash, that Greentalk overanalyzed you. He didn't lie, of course. His words were the absolute truth. But sometimes, the truth is just a small part of the reality."

"Now you're trying to comfort me?"

"No." Ar opens his eyes. Dash is in front of him, looking at him... with sadness all over her face. She's not angry. She can't be angry anymore.

Her eyes are the eyes of somepony who's dying on the inside. Her soul is bleeding.

But that doesn't matter.

"I'm not trying to comfort you. Because I actually care a lot about you." Ar frowns. "If I comfort you and you become a happy and determined mare again just because of my words, then I'll be no better than Greentalk.
Dash, I talked about lawyers before. I did it because I know them. I am a lawyer. A big part of my job is just talk to people and comfort them, or annoy them, or make them cry. And I do it just with the truth. Because the truth, Dash, is just a weapon. A very powerful weapon which can be used to hurt if you want it to."

Dash frowns and looks at Ar. "...Who are you?"

"Just a defeated pony that wanders the Void," Ar answers. "A defeated pony who knows why you're here.
Greentalk used the truth against you, because he's your enemy. I don't want to manipulate you, I don't want to became your puppeteer. You're not a puppet."

"Then, what?!" Rainbow laughs. It's not a happy laugh. "You're here just to tell me that I suck? Fine then! I don't...!"

"I'm a friend. I'm not saying..."

"No. No, you're not a friend." Dash shakes her head and looks at Ar with a snarky smile. She looks almost exactly like the Dash from the show. "You're not a friend, becuase you're doing what everypony is doing here."

Ar blinks. "I think I can't understand you."

"Talking!" The pegasus raises her voice and open her wings. "You're talking, and you're trying to be deep or something! Just like Greentalk did! Just like everypony is doing here!
And I'm tired of it! I don't want to hear stupid nosense again and again! The stupid author creates us, and suddenly everything is blahblahblah!"

Ar blinks again. "Well, if you let me explain myself..."

"AND WHAT THE HAY ARE YOU GOING TO SAY?!" Shouts Rainbow. She still looks sad, but for the most part it seems like she's just annoyed. "Another long speech about levels, or love, or philosophy, or truth as a weapon?! And of course, I'm supposed to stay here and just listen to you until you magically change my mind with your stupid words! I'm tired of it!"

My first body smiles. This is what he was looking for, and he hasn't done anything. After all, he was right: Rainbow Dash didn't need his pity.

"You listened to Greentalk when he said you were weak and pathetic", Ar says, trying to hide his smile and look annoyed or angry. "And now that I try to help you without manipulating you..."

"Oh, please" sanrks Dashie. "Well, yeah, I listened to him. And guess what. IT DIDN'T MAKE ME FEEL BETTER AT ALL! The last time somepony tried to lecture me it didn't end well, so now if you excuse me, I don't want any of this!"

"He said the truth."

"And you think I don't know that?!" The sadness returns. The pegasus is screaming, she's letting all the rage go out. She doesn't feel good, but she continues on. "Do you think I don't know that I'm weak?! Or pathetic?! Or that I was defeated and I'm a horrible friend?!" She grabs Ar's jacket and raises him, shouting directly at his face. "I can't udnerstand anything that's going on, and I feel horrible because the only thing that I can understand is that everything is fucked up just because of me not understanding anything!"

"So you don't like Greentalk or me lecturing you because you know we're telling you the truth?"

"And to top it all, you ALWAYS know what to say!" Dash drops Ar and raises her hooves to her head. "Do you know how annoying is that?! Stop being smart! Stop being better than me! STOP TALKING!"

"Why?"

"BECAUSE YOUR WORDS ANNOY ME!"

"You have fire." Ar smiles, this time openly. His face seems to be completely healed now. "It seemed like you had lost it, but you still have your fire."

"And here we go again!" Dash sighs loudly. "Now you're going to talk about how awesome I am so I can be good ol'Dashie again?! Just DON'T! I don't want any kind of lecture!"

"I'm not lecturing you."

"Of COURSE you're lecturing me!" Rainbow says. "Because that's all you can do! You can't do anything but lecture ponies, or the world, or the universe, or reality! I know your kind!"

"Oh, you know my kind?" Ar frowns. "You don't know who I am!"

"WHO CARES! You're a pony I don't know who claims to be a lawyer and tries to talk a big speech at me! It's impossible for me not to know your kind! ONE OF THOSE STUPID 'I-KNOW-EVERYTHING' PONIES THAT SEEM TO BE EVERYWHERE IN THIS STORY!"

"Well, that's quite amazing." Ar nods and smiles again. "Knowing so much about the ponies by your side. But, do you know who you are?"

Silence. Dash is the same Dash from the show again, and she's trying to kill Ar with her eyes.

"See? Philosophy again. Who are you?" asks, imitating Ar voice. "I am who I am, and I'm sure you can describe me perfectly, but I don't want you doing that! I'm not a mare of words!"

"And what does that mean?"

"THAT I DON'T LIKE WORDS!"

"Do you mean that you don't like other ponies to talk to you and lecture you?" points Ar. "Or does that mean that you don't care about the words because you're more an 'action' mare?"

"BOTH!"

"Then, why are you so crushed by Greentalk's words?" Ar shakes his head and laughs. "Sure, he defeated you, and he said a lot of awful things you knew were true. But, who cares? You're still Rainbow Dash, and you can't change what do you feel or waht do you think. And it doesn't matter what does Greentalk think about you, because you hate him no matter what, right?"

Dash stays in silence and looks at Ar angrily. After a couple minutes, she sighs again. "And you've done it, of course. You just lectured me, but without me noticing it."

"Oh. Are you mad?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to hit me again?"

"No." She sighs again and puts a hoof on his face. "Also, sorry for that. I wasn't on my best before. I didn't want to punch you."

"And why aren't you punching me if you're so angry?"

"Because of course you are right, and of course you cheered me up with your lecture. I need to be myself, it doesn't matter what did Greentalk say, believe in your heart and blahblahblah. I get it. Now, take me to Greentalk and let's kick his ass."

Ar blinks, surprised. "What? Do you think I can lead you to...?"

"I'm in a white void that's called 'the Void' -how original, by the way -and suddenly an unknown pony who clames to know everything shows up and starts philosophizing." Dash rolls her eyes and smiles. "I've readen a couple of books, you know? I'm not such an idiot. It's obvious you can do that."

"Well, that kinda ruins the surprise."

"Who cares? Do it! I want to punch you, but I also want to punck Greentalk and I already hit you, so let's go and stop talking or I swear I'll dance on your face!"

Ar laughs. And then, he travels trough the Void and carries Dash with him.

And he finds the other bodies, and they reunite, and I have just one body once again.

And I return to my real form.
