Gallus walks in on Yona showering. She's crying and he smells bad.

Sandbar cares a great deal for Yona, but the thought of meeting her family has him understandably nervous. What if they didn't like him? Thankfully, that turns out to not be a problem, and instead, he has to worry about something else entirely.

(Takes place right after "She's All Yak".)

The dance has ended and it's time for everycreature to leave. But for Yona, there's still one nagging question she needs answered. Why did Sandbar invite her of all creatures to the school's dance? He could've invited anyone else, or just hung out with the rest of his friends.

Naturally, Yona isn't one to keep questions to herself. She seeks out a chance to ask Sandbar face to face, and Sandbar decides to confess.

But when Yona learns the truth, she'll be left with more questions and concerns than she had before. And it will be up to Sandbar to reassure her that everything will be okay.

Yona and Sandbar are happily married, but nasty talk around town about their size difference have Sandbar a bit on edge. How can he be the stallion she deserves if he doesn't fit into the traditional role of being the bigger and stronger one?

Luckily, he runs into a stallion who went through something similar and gets a few pointers on what masculinity and love truly mean.

A retrospective on the story.

Now with a Spanish translation!

" Limestone's a great employee. I just wish she could train Yona without me needing to hire a carpenter every week."- Headmare Starlight.

An incident lands Gallus in trouble. The biggest trouble he's ever been in. Because of it, he's now forced to confront and talk about the one thing he never wanted to address: his parents.

Thanks to Scyphi for helping me edit this.

Having learned that one of her fellow students can't swim, Silverstream takes it upon herself to correct that oversight. To that end, she calls up her brother, Teramar, and ropes Ocellus into a make-shift swimming camp for Yona.

Although a part of Yona understands why she needs swimming lessons, the more dominant part of her would rather be anywhere but in the water. However, Silverstream is determined to get Yona to be able to swim.

Will Silverstream, Teramar, and Ocellus succeeded? Or is Yona destined to never be a swimmer?

After their rather eventful time together at the Amity Ball, Sandbar and Yona have decided to try and continue seeing each other outside of school hours. Their first stop? The local cafe, where Sandbar becomes more than a little nervous about their afternoon together.
