"Thanks for teaching Yona how to swim, Sandbar." Yona thanked Sandbar, as they walked back to the castle building.
"Anytime, Yona. You're a friend, and I always help a friend in ways that I can," Sandbar warmly replied.
"Now Sandbar, Yona's giving you another wish. What will you like to do in this castle?" Yona asked.
"Well, meeting all the creatures was great...I do love them all, they're like...my neighbours back at home..." Sandbar commented, "So friendly, and all around me...I just wish that we all can be together in the one same place...like having a huge gathering!"
"How about a huge party in the ballroom?" Yona suggested.
"You know about parties?!" Sandbar gasped, "I thought you didn't!"
"Just...came to Yona's mind." Yona quickly responded, "So...see every pony in the ballroom at sunset?"
"Sure thing, at sunset." Sandbar replied.
Time flew and the sky changed its colours long with the position of the sun.
"Thank you for helping Yona get ready, Yona's friends." Yona thanked Silverstream, Ocellus and Smolder, as they helped the yak get washed up and cleaned before the party.
"Yona's friends?!" Silverstream gasped.
"Your majesty, did you really mean?" Smolder asked.
"Sandbar's friendship opened up Yona's heart." Yona explained, "Yona likes having friends, and castle servants are the only creatures around Yona, so...they can be...Yona's friends."
"But, your majesty, don't forget that we're still...castle servants." Ocellus pointed out.
"So we're helping you, only because it's our job." Silverstream pointed out.
"Yona can take it from here, castle servant friends should just go and get themselves ready for the party!" Yona declared.
"But don't you know what to wear?" Smolder asked.
"Yona can use some help with that." Yona shyly smiled.
"Of course we can help you with that, your majesty." Ocellus replied.
"Thanks for helping me get ready, Gallus." Sandbar thanked the griffon.
"Anytime Sandbar, what are friends for?" Gallus asked.
"Helping each other when they need help?" Sandbar replied, "In the acceptable way, of course."
"I can't believe that you got her majesty to host a party for every creature here, I mea, this is the very first time that there's a party here!" Gallus commented.
"So...there were no parties used here until I came?" Sandbar asked.
"Not a single one since her majesty became queen and mistress," Gallus whispered into Sandbar's ear, before speaking in normal volume, "But, seeing that she was willing to host a party since you wanted something like that, I can see that you're helping her become the yak she needs to be."
"And maybe that means it's just a matter of time before the curse breaks!" Sandbar lightened up.
"Exactly!" Gallus replied, before they entered the ballroom from one side of the staircase, just in time to see their friends entering from the other side of the staircase.
