[Ami honestly never had a party like this thrown to her. Her mother had practically insisted upon it once she got the invitation. She had a bag on her shoulder for sleeping over, some light reading, and then of course a swimsuit, towel, and change of clothes. She was always prepared, if she could help it. Even though Ami was excited about a birthday party, she didn't actually know what to do.]

Oh uh, thank you very much for coming to this. [She bowed. She was surprised to see so many for her birthday. A deep blush was on her cheeks while her Luxio, Hoothoot, and Dratini were beside her. Aurora eyed the crashing waves while Dratini was wiggling trying hard to get out of Ami's arms to go play in the water.] I believe there's food and drinks under the bigger tent. Will you be spending the night? [Usagi had been rather insistent on Ami staying the night on the beach. Ami had been rather easy to persuade, she loved being near the water.

She wondered if it would be rude to dig into the newest chapter under an umbrella.]
