It was a beautiful day out, the sun shining overhead with only a few fluffy white clouds floating listlessly in the blue skies. A few bluebirds perched on a trash bin, singing catchy little tunes that filled the peaceful air with song.
A bottle of soda hit the bin and it toppled over.
Anzu walked down the street, grumbling, holding a lunch bag. Where could they be? I've been waiting nice and patiently for the others to get here, but my patience wore out around two hours ago! Where could they be? They didn't forget on me, did they?
Anzu had, of course, been with her group of guyfriends in the front of the school after school had let out. She had asked if they wanted to go to the park and have a little picnic together, and almost at once they agreed. Their favorite combination was the outdoors and food. That how guys were. But, they were also lazy and forgetful, well, at least, her friends were. She had been very hurt. She thought at least Yami would have remembered—he loved spending time with her. But I won't let it bother me, she thought, after all, people can forget when one of their best friends asks if they can go to the park, and they unanimously agree, right?...Right?
She sat down on a park bench and opened up her lunch, taking out a few strawberries and lazily biting off the sweet red fruits. She savored the sweet flavorful taste, but it did not make her feel any better. Perhaps she should go home and make popcorn—hot, salty, buttery popcorn always made her feel better.
A voice broke through her thoughts. "May I sit down?"
"Buzz off," said Anzu, not in the mood to be near people.
"Oh, now is that any way to greet a friend?" asked the boy, who sat down by her anyway. Anzu looked over to tell him to go away, when she noticed who it was. Her face brightened up almost immediately. "Marik!"
Marik grinned at her, his blond hair and violet eyes a sight for sore eyes. Anzu hugged him, smiling. They had kept in touch after Battle City, using letters, AIM, and e-mail. He flushed slightly, happy that she missed him so much. "It's great to see you, Anzu. I came here alone, and I kind of came secretly," he admitted, laughing.
Anzu giggled. "Ishizu is probably worrying her dress out," she said. "Odeon too!"
"Ah, I doubt it. I left them a note. So, why are you all grumpy today?" Marik asked.
"Oh, nothing, it's quite stupid really. My friends just didn't come for the 'date' they had promised to come too, and it's been three hours already," Anzu said, sighing.
"Dang, that's harsh," Marik said.
"Yeah, but enough about them for now—how's Malik doing" Anzu asked. Malik had been separated from Marik just like Bakura and Ryou and Yami and Yugi.
"Malik? He's….um…well…" Marik began, kind of offhandedly.
"Yes?"
"…He's gone missing," Marik said.
Anzu looked alarmed. "Missing? Where did he go? Please don't tell me he's gone crazy again," Anzu said.
"How should I know? But I think he might be going after the Millennium Rod again," Marik stated.
"But Yugi has that currently!"
"I know, but still—he's probably just in the desert back in Egypt, fighting rocks or something."
"Well, I kind of came here to tell you to watch out, just in case he does go psycho," Marik said.
Anzu's reaction was a picture perfect memory, in his opinion. Her eyes glittered with happiness as she spoke. "You were worried about me?" she asked, her lips practically trembling. Marik nodded. "Of course," he said. She threw her arms around him again. "Thank you! It's great that someone actually thinks of me every now and then! You're a great friend!" she said.
Marik's heart sunk. She only thought of him as a friend...but at least she was hugging him. He pulled her in tighter, and he felt her breasts squish against his chest. He went red and Anzu noticed. "Do you have a fever or something? You're dreadfully hot," she said.
"Uh, no, just a little caught up in the moment I'd say!" Marik said, pushing her away gently.

Bakura 's face also went red, but not with embarrassment. With anger. What in the name of Anubis is he doing here? How DARE he come here and try to steal Anzu away from me?...What am I saying, she's not the type for me!...He's making another move! DIE MARIK!...Ok, that is harsh. AH, screw it, might as well just walk in of them, it's in public anyway.
"Anzu?" Bakura asked, walking out from behind a café. Anzu and Marik both turned in surprise. "Bakura?" Anzu asked.
"No, the Grim Reaper," Bakura said sarcastically.
Anzu grinned. "I can't believe it! You remembered! Oh, wow, thank you so much!" she said, smiling.
Marik glared at Bakura and sent him a mind message. Hey, you back off, she'd never fall for you, you and her are so different a snail and a penguin have more in common than you two!
What are you even doing here, Marik? Go crawl back into your sand hole where you came from!
Excuse me? You used to live in one too!
Touché...hey, I'm already beating the Pharaoh, so take that, blondie!
Oh, look who's talking! Get your hair cut, he-she!
WHAT DID YOU SAY? ARE YOU IMPLYING I HAVE NO BALLS?
They probably haven't dropped yet if you do have them.
X X X
What on earth just happened? One minute they're glaring at each other, the next Bakura's attacking Marik…Anzu thought. Bakura had just lunged at Marik, screaming something about they had dropped and they are fully functional. Anzu sighed and ate the rest of her strawberries, watching them duke it out on the pavement.
"I'll get her first, you dead-brained thief!" yelled Marik, grabbing Bakura's hair.
"She's mine! And get some better earrings next time, maybe a pair that DOESN'T POKE YOUR EYES OUT!" Bakura yelled, biting Marik's shoulder.
She? Who's this she they're talking about? Anzu thought. Her thoughts strayed back to last night with the tub, and then today with the food fight, then not to long ago, with Malik hugging her tight…ARE THEY FIGHTING OVER ME? Anzu thought, practically speechless. No, of course not, I know Marik likes me...I mean, back at Battle City he'd possess me just so he could have an excuse to strip me and stare into the mirror for hours…but Bakura? No way! He and I aren't alike at all! A snail and a penguin have more in common than us!
I wonder what Bakura would look like in boxers…
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST THINK?
Anzu let out a high pierced scream, falling off the bench. She began to roll around the ground, muttering 'Bad thoughts' and was causing such a scene even Bakura and Marik stopped fighting just to stare at her. "Wonder what she was thinking?" Bakura asked.
Mmmmm…Anzu without any clothes…
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST THINK?

Kaya: Yes, uneventful I know, sorry. I just had to think of something so I could get to more interesting parts!
Sheekin: Rate and Review!
Sanu: POPCORN!
