It had been five days since Penny had died. It was all his fault, he was the reason she was dead. Billy arrived at her grave, a white marble cross, symbolizing her purity. It bore the words:
Penny
1978-2008
girlfriend of Captain Hammer
killed by Dr. Horrible.
Tears burned in his eyes but he quickly wiped them away. How could they say that he was the one who had killed her? It was Captain Hammer who had pulled the trigger to the death ray resulting in her death. Billy clutched the rose he was holding in his hand tighter and a few drops of blood fell to the ground. He started walking away,
"penny, I'm sorry I let you die" he sang.
"I didn't get to say goodbye
and now here I stand holding a rose in my hand
why didnt I tell you that you were the one of my dreams?" He sang, dropping the rose in front of her grave.
"But I'm Dr. Horrible" he started singing, somehow already dressed as Dr. Horrible.
"Why should I care
that you are all gone now
I'm Dr. Horrible" he sang.
"I bring the terror to all of the town
I never needed you
I can proceed to
bring all of you down now
can't you see" he sang miraculously dressed as Billy again.
"Oh Penny," he sang.
"I miss you Penny.
Penny."
His heart broke in his chest as he finished the song. Billy knew the world was full of lies, that it was a cruel sick world but he never thought that it would go this far. He ran off already five minutes late for a meeting of the Evil League of Evil. Dr. Horrible was ready for some revenge, he was ready to show the people just how unfair the world really was.
