Fumiya, you and Naoki should come over to our house this Sunday.

What's happening on Sunday?
Are you serious? It's Super Bowl Sunday.
The Super Bowl is the most important professional football game of the year.
　　The game is held every year.
I've heard of that. It's the final game of the season, right?
That's right. Here in Boston, we support the New England Patriots.
We always have a party with lots of food while we watch the game.
That sounds great. We'll be there.

Megumi's Diary

I had my birthday party at my house today.
It was perfect. A lot of my friends came to my house.
And we had a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.
Mrs. Davis helped me to bake it yesterday.
I was looking forward to the magic show.
But the magician couldn't make it.
Then my dad did a magic show for us as a famous magician named Fumiosso.
I didn't know that my dad could do magic.
Everyone enjoyed the show.
It was the best birthday party.

Happy birthday dear Megumi.
　　Happy birthday to you.
Thank you, everyone.
Fumiya, the magician has just called.
He can't make it today.
Oh, no. Megumi was looking forward to the magic show.
What should we do?
I'll be right back.
Mom, is the magician coming soon?
He'll be here soon, dear.
Oh, okay. I'm glad to hear that.
　　I was starting to worry.
Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the magic show.
Dad?
No, no. I am the famous magician Fumiosso!

I'm glad to hear that.
I was sad to say goodbye to her.

It took all day. But I finished planning my birthday party.
What are these papers?
I drew a picture of the cake. Mrs. Davis will help me to bake it.
Are you going to bake your own birthday cake?
Why not? It's fun for me to bake cakes with Mrs. Davis.
Okay. And what are these lists?
This is a list of decorations. And this is a list of birthday presents.

Hi, everyone.
Today, I went on a horse carriage ride with my friend Ellen and her brother Steve.
We took a tour and we saw some a famous sights in Boston.
It was fun.
When we finished the tour, the next customers were waiting.
There was a couple sitting on a bench, and Steve was surprised to see them.
He went on a date with that girl last month.
After the tour, we went to dinner downtown, but Steve didn't say anything for a long time.
I hope he's okay.
