A/N: Just a short li'l Penny thing. My first Dr. Horrible fanfic – that you know about. Sorry if Penny's too much of a Goody Two-Shoes. I didn't really like her; she was too Sandra Dee for me.
I had to admit, it was very sweet of him to invite me to this whole event. I never thought in a million years I'd get to say that a statue of my boyfriend was being unveiled. I never thought in a million years that I'd get to say I even had a boyfriend. I'd long since given up on love and devoted all my time to helping humanity.
But helping humanity had gotten a little lonely and he fixed that…even if I hadn't seen Billy for days.
I'd faithfully waited at the Laundromat with frozen yogurt for him in the hopes that he'd come.
Maybe he was just preparing for this big celebration!
I craned my neck to see if he was in the audience, but then stopped.
Who was I kidding? Billy never really liked him so much. Why would he be excited about this?
"Everyone's a hero in their own way," he sang, "in their own not-that-heroic way…"
I admired him as he sang. He was just so handsome and so devoted to his public.
He looked over at me. I got a tingle inside, partly from what I felt for him, partly the anticipation of if and what he'd say about me.
"So I thank my girlfriend, Penny, yeah, we totally had sex…"
What? What was he saying? Didn't he know you don't say stuff like that in ceremonial speeches?
I slunk down in my seat.
"She showed me there's so many different muscles I can flex…"
The audience looked lovingly at him, all of them hanging on his every word. While they were focused on him, I tried to edge my way towards the exit, but couldn't bring myself to leave. It's to leave in the middle of someone else's speeches, especially if it was your boyfriend's.
I listened to him as he kept singing. I sighed with relief as the statue was about to be unveiled.
…Wait, who was that? And why does he look vaguely familiar?
He had a gigantic gun of some sort in his hand.
Oh, no!
