Shivershipping (Anzu x Shizuka x Mana)

(Yeah...I can't figure out a way to make this fit with the canon, so I'll just use a scene from a possible fanfiction I'm gonna work on, where Mana comes back to life at some point...)

"Errgh! It's sooo cold!"

Mana shivered despite her three layers, two hats, earmuffs and gloves. Anzu laughed a little. She wore only a thin coat that she called a windbreaker, and Shizuka wasn't much better in only a sweater.

"Come on, Mana-chan, it's nearly fifty degrees outside," Anzu said. "It's beautiful out."

"Beautiful? It's totally freezing!" Mana moaned. "What kind of a spring is this?"

"Well, Mana-san is more used to the weather of Egypt," Shizuka said shyly. "So this probably does feel really cold to her."

"Thank you for understanding!"

Mana breathed on her gloved hands, trying to get warm. She hadn't wanted to go on this trip at all. But Anzu had insisted that since Mana was here in this time period, she should get out more and start to settle in, at least a little bit. Geez, that Anzu. They had only met a few days ago when she had found herself walking around in freezing cold Domino in nothing but her magician's dress with no idea where she was or how she had gotten there. Shizuka she had met later, when the red-head came to visit her brother Jonouchi.

Mana glanced across at Anzu, who was looking admiringly through the glass of a shop at some jewelry.

"Hey, Mana, look, doesn't that look kind of Egyptian?" Anzu said.

"Yeah, sure, maybe," Mana said, burrowing her face into her scarf. "Why don't we actually go inside the shops. Things are heated in there."

"But that's not the point of window shopping, Mana!" Anzu said with a laugh.

"I don't even know what that is!"

Mana waved her arms around in frustration, but Anzu and Shizuka only giggled somewhat hysterically. After letting out a strangled groan, Mana buried her face back into her scarf and sulked. Anzu patted her on the shoulder.

"Okay, okay, you win, Mana-chan," she said, hiding a smile. "Why don't we introduce you to something else modern – like hot chocolate?"

"Hot choco-what? What's that?" Mana said, her curiosity peaked. "Is it warm?"

"Yes, it is!" Shizuka said cheerfully. "And really delicious! Good idea, Anzu-chan!"

With a grin, Anzu hooked her arm into Mana's, and Shizuka shyly did so on Mana's other side.

"You guys are so annoying," Mana said half-heartedly as they steered her through the cold.

"Love you too, Mana," Anzu said.

Shizuka giggled. And Mana just grinned.

A/N: Meh. This could've been cuter, but I'm losing energy. Oh, and hey, it's finally broken fifty degrees today! 8D I'm so psyched for spring! Next is Shinshipping (Possessed Jonouchi x Yami no Yugi). Geez...come on, people, possessed Jonouchi is not a separate character...
