It was noon when Penny was serving soup at the homeless the next day and she would still get butterflies from the kiss. She remembered that Moist had told her about his friend being in love with her and he wasn't kidding. Billy kissed her! It was a sweet and passionate kiss that she didn't want to end and she could tell that he didn't want it to end, either. She wished that she gave him her number, but they were bound to see each other again on Saturday.

Then again, she remembered when she told him that she was going to see him later when he was leaving, she saw almost heartbreak in his blue eyes. Come to think of it, she saw the same look almost the whole time they were talking. It was as if something was tearing him up inside and didn't want to tell her.

Did it have to do with the League? What if he didn't really leave and he lied to her about it?

She shook the thought from her head. No. Billy was not like that. Yes, he is Dr. Horrible and tried to kill Captain Hammer, killing a fangirl instead, but he wouldn't lie about this, would he? Why was she thinking the worst with him? Well, she did try to see the good in everyone, but when it came to Billy, she saw the good, but for all she knows, he could be fighting with the good. What if he was telling the truth? That he did actually leave the E.L.E and something else was happening? Either way, something bad was happening and he wasn't telling her.

She was going to ask about it on Saturday and in the meantime, she would hope that he is going to be okay and later today, she'll call Hammer off Dr. Horrible, but not the Evil League of Evil.

The kiss never left Billy's head as he was making coffee in the morning. It was another memory to cherish for the next couple of days, but it was sad because he wanted to see her again right away. He wanted to ask her to be his. He wanted to love her and make her happy, but he couldn't because he was going to die. At least he'll die a hero in her eyes. Funny. Everyone would probably cheer about Dr. Horrible's death, but Penny, she would cry.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Billy opened the door to Moist, who held a thin pile of damp mail.

"Not much today, Doc," the drenched man said, handing over the sopping mail.

He gingerly took the mail. "Thanks. Oh, um, I kissed Penny yesterday."

Moist's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head as his jaw could've dropped to the ground like it was made of lead. A grin formed. "Way to go, man! Wow. So you and Penny are, like, dating now, or something?"

Billy gave a small shrug with a shy smile, but felt his heart chip. "I don't know," he dumbly admitted.

"Are you going to see her again?"

He smiled at that. "I hope so." It was the truth, but it wasn't going to happen.

His friend began to walk away. "Well, I wish you luck, man."

A thought then came to his mind. "Moist?"

The man looked at him with kind and patient, dark eyes.

He gave a small smile, trying to act casual. "You always were the best henchman that any villain could ask for and friend that I could ever ask for."

Moist grew flustered, giving a shy wave with a smile as he looked away. "Ah, well, we might not work on E.L.E heists anymore, but there are always more heists in the future." He gave a happy smile, looking back at the doctor.

Billy chuckled as those words tore. "We'll go on another heist soon," he falsely promised.

His friend chuckled as he started walking away. "Sounds good. Well, see ya later, Doc, and good luck with your girlfriend!" He gave a wave, then walked away.

Billy slowly frowned as he gently closed the door.

Girlfriend.

What a strange word to say at a time like this.

Maybe he'll drop by the homeless shelter later today, but then again, he didn't know what to do. He still hasn't touched the Death Ray II since he left and he needed to before the League gets their hands on it- If they even wanted it.

Wanting to clear his thoughts, he took his cup of coffee, then headed out to the small balcony by the living room. Closing the sliding glass door behind, he leaned against the railing, sipping on his coffee. Was the League waiting for him to come back or did they know that he wasn't? Either way, he was not going to return to them. Penny was glad that he left and just maybe, she'll help him change the world. Funny. He was thinking as if he was actually going to be with her.

Then he looked down to the sidewalk below as a couple of people walked by. He was only on the second floor… It was high enough to kill him and it was possibly better than having a horse crush him or an assassin sneaking into his apartment.

Billy swallowed.

Did he just really think about that?

No… He would never do such a thing. If he was going to die, then he will die by the League. He was going to prove the League that he was not a coward and to Penny that he was not a quitter… Well, when it came to the League, of course, but that was obvious.

A thought then entered his cunning mind.

Why should he go down without a fight? He has the Death Ray II! If he uses that against the League, it will show that he was ready for them and to prove that he was not scared of them. If he takes down a member of the League, he might start changing the world already and for sure Penny would be by his side! Quickly returning back inside, the doctor made his way to the lab.
