Another songfic! This is about Anzu, with Mandy Moore's 'Top of the World'. Sorry if the part about Mai and her was inaccurate-I made half of it up. Unless what I wrote actually happened. ~_~

For a time, I thought my faith, it must be hiding
Searching through the sky, hoping to find a way
A way, to get me through the day
Don't know where I belong, is this where I should stay

Anzu Mazaki jogged home, her backpack swinging. She sighed, looking amidst at the dance studio across the sidewalk. She had stopped there so many times to just sit and...stare.

Lift me up, when I am falling
You're my friend, when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

***Flashback***

" Yugi? This had better not be a trick..." Anzu stopped in front of the supposed 'studio' . She had been thinking about what a joke it would¡¦ve been for Jou and Yuugi if they were really just teasing her, and she¡¦d felt like a real fool when she arrived at the place. " Look lady, give me your money and I¡¦ll let you go." A menacing voice interrupted her thoughts. She gasped, and the person pushed her to the wall. Suddenly-" No! Anzu!¡¨" Yuugi¡¦s form punched into the bully, and Anzu felt herself rendered unconscious...

***End Flashback***

Anzu grinned subconsciously as she thanked Yugi for saving her. He just smiled, and said, " Friends?" Anzu returned the smile. " Friends."

Yeah, you've always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

" I¡¦ll duel for Yuugi!¡¨" Mai turned to her. " You can¡¦t be serious," she rolled her eyes. " I am," stated Anzu firmly, " Yuugi can¡¦t duel right now. But he always believed, and because of our friendship I¡¦m sure I-we-can win."

There's a strength in me, it seems, I have forgotten
Now I, realized today, I'm starting to dream again
Again, was a matter of when
I guess we all lose our way, now and then

It had been a while after Duelist Kingdom. Ironically, it caused Anzu even more worry. She paced back and forth over Domino City, trying to forget what Isis had told her and Yami. Yami was a Pharaoh-a PHARAOH! And there was so much danger now...saving the world wouldn¡¦t be an easy feat, would it?

Always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

You have to believe in the heart of the cards! The words rang in Anzu¡¦s mind. For a moment, she found comfort. Yuugi had always believed, and he had always been all right¡Kshe had to trust that.

Yeah, yeah

Top of the whole wide world...

Anzu smiled.
