The next day, Yona and Sandbar left the castle building to take a dip in the castle moat so Sandbar could help Yona with her swimming. While they did so, a song played in Sandbar's mind.

There's something sweet
And almost kind
But she was mean and she was coarse and unrefined
And now she's dear, and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before

Yona was getting a hang of basic swimming by carefully observing Sandbars' moves. As she did, a song was sung in her head.

He glanced this way
Yona saw with her eyes
And when we touched he didn't shudder at her size
No it can't be, she'll just ignore
But then he's never looked at her that way before

As soon as Yona was capable of swimming circles around the moat, Sandbar happily dived in to join her, while having a song playing in his brain.

New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be
True that she's no Queen of Mean?
But there's something in her that I simply didn't see

From inside the castle, Gallus, Silverstream, Smolder and Ocellus spied on the couple from the window.

Gallus sang, "Well, who'd have thought?"
Silverstream sang, "Well, bless my soul"
Smolder sang, "Well, who'd have known?"
Ocellus sang,"Well, who indeed?"
Gallus and Smolder sang, "And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?"
Silverstream and Ocellus sang, "It's so peculiar."
All four sang, "We'll wait and see, a few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before"

Smolder and Silverstream sang, "You know, perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before"

Gallus and Ocellus sang, "There may be something there that wasn't there before"
