Back at the castle, Gojyo was rehearsing the band and Kanzeon was preparing for the ball, as Sanzo came in.

"Mother, have you se…" Sanzo asked.

"Oh, Sanzo." Kanzeon said.

Sanzo walked towards her and noticed the roses, as he asked her, "What are these?"

"Roses." she replied.

"They're red."

"Of course they're red."

"But, Mother," Sanzo said, "I don't want red roses. I want white, like a swan. Have you seen Goku?"

"No." Kanzeon answered.

"Has anyone seen Goku?" Sanzo asked, before he picked up a tray full of food and asked the waiter, "Would you feed this to a swan?"

The waiter shook his head.

"Take it back." Sanzo commanded. "Something light, something fresh." Sanzo then walked towards Gojyo and said, "No, no, no. Gojyo, hold it."

"What's wrong?" asked Gojyo.

"Tonight the music needs to be played with ease, soft and graceful, like a swan."

"A swan?"

"You ever saw a swan, Gojyo?"

"Of course, I've seen one."

"If you could play a swan, what would it sound like?"

Gojyo pointed at one of the musicians, who blew a low note on his tuba, and Gojyo chuckled.

"Soft and graceful, Gojyo." Sanzo said. "Where is Goku?"

"No one has even seen him," Kanzeon said, "given the fact he is a bit of a coward."

"You're kidding!" Sanzo said. "Who's gonna be my best man?"

That caught Kanzeon attention, as she said, "Best-? You…you mean…?"

Sanzo winked at her and Kanzeon laughed, happily, realizing what this meant, as Gojyo conducted the band playing the music, soft and graceful.

"There you go, Gojyo." Sanzo said, pretending to dance with Saya. "That's the way." He then danced with his mother, as he said, "Come on, Mother!"

Kanzeon laughed, as her son danced with her, looking very happy about her son getting married.

"Oh, don't be so secretive, Sanzo." Kanzeon said, as Kanzeon dipped her hair into a punch bowl. "Tell me who she is."

She leapt out of her son's arms and danced happily. Sanzo laughed, happily, as he tossed the roses up in the air.

Meanwhile, back at Kougaiji's castle, Saya, in swan form, is locked up in the dungeon. He threw the roses into the water, where she is.

"It hurts me to lock you up, Saya; really hurts me deep." Kougaiji said, as Saya glared up at him. "But then again, a king's day is full of tough decisions. You understand?" Even angrier than she already is, Saya angrily pecked at the roses and tore them apart. Noticing this, Kougaiji continues, "Oh, now, you're mad at me again. Doggone it! I can't do nothin' right. Head full of puddin', that's me. I can't leave you like this. If you're not happy, I'm not happy. I know, if you can't attend the ball, then I'll bring the ball to you. Let's see, the first thing you need is…a man." Saya gasped, looking angrier. "The prince is still busy, of course," he then smirked, as he turned to the door and added, "but I think I can arrange a substitute."

Just then, Lirin opened the door, revealing Goku, who is frantically holding onto the sides of the door, trying to keep Lirin from pushing him in, as he yells, "Don't do this to me, please! Oh please, oh please, oh please! I'm begging you!"

Kougaiji looked a bit amused at Goku's behavior, before he said, "Poor boy. He got lost in the woods."

Lirin was still having trouble, trying to push Goku in, so she kicked his butt, as hard as she could, causing Jack to let go of the door and screamed as he falls into the water. Without hesitation, Saya dove down and saved Goku.

"Don't go!" Goku begged her, once she had helped him to safety.

"Oh, I'd really love to stay, but if I don't leave now, I'll be late. That's tacky." He said, before he shut the window and left, as Saya glared up at him. Kougaiji opened the window again and said, "Don't you give me that look, little lady! Had to be sneaky, didn't you? Had to drag your prince into this, didn't you? That's fine with me! Just fine with me!"

Kougaiji slammed the window shut, leaving Saya and Goku alone.

Meanwhile, outside of the castle, Hakkai, Yaone, and Jien looked horrified, as they gasped in concern, knowing that Saya was locked up in the dungeon, before they all glanced at each other, knowing something had to be done to help Saya.
