Billy pulled on a clean tshirt. He had a roommate again. He shouldn't have left his stuff scattered all over the living area, but he hadn't really cared much about keeping the place clean the last few days.

He hadn't really cared much about anything, really. Yeah, it was nice to be back to the right time again, but he'd spent all of today staring at a basket of laundry morosely.

He shouldn't have told her.

He sighed and opened the door, stepping into the living area.

"Uh, hello?" he called. "Sheldon?"

	Billy stared at him. It really didn't. "Uh, okay," he said slowly. He moved down the couch. Living with this guy was gonna be ... Interesting. He looked around the room. "Uh, sorry the place was kinda messy, i've been kinda ... Distracted." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you," he said. He sat down on his seat and looked over at Billy. "I'm not very good at these situations but I'm going to say you're either sad, or suffering from digestive problems," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy blinked. "Uh, the first one," he said. He sighed and let his head fall back against the couch. "I screwed everything up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Damnit! I was going to go with sad. I don't know why I hedged," he said. "I am going to assume that you don't mean with your board. Because I fixed that mess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy shook his head slightly. He was definitely .... Different. "No, I don't mean with the board," he sighed. "I messed things up with Penny." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-01 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Penny? Penny is here?" he asked. "Well that explains how you let the place get such a mess," he said. "Did you tell her you don't believe in psychics?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-01 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Billy sat up. "Uh, yeah. You know Penny? My Penny?" He paused. She wasn't his Penny anymore. And that stung. He was confused though. "Psychics? No, I told her I'm Dr Horrible, and it ... it didn't go well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-01 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Your Penny?" he asked. It didn't surprise him that Penny had moved on from Leonard. "She didn't believe that you were an evil genius? Because I can see how she wouldn't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-02 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"Not anymore," Billy sighed. He stared at him, insulted again. "She believed me fine," he said. "She just ... doesn't want to be with me anymore." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy stared at him. "You really know her? The same Penny?" he asked. He paused. "Wait, you can't be from the same place we're from, cos then you'd know who I am." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-02 09:34 am UTC (link)
	"I supposed there is a possibility that it is a different Penny. What does the Penny you know do?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-02 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"She's working as a waitress here," Billy said. "And she volunteers a lot," he added, with a little sigh. Even thinking about her hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-02 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"A waitress? Oh lord, Penny really is here." "I don't know of the Penny I know doing charity work. Though she was dating Leonard, I guess that is pretty charitable of her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Billy's brow furrowed. "Leonard? Penny never mentioned a Leonard."

"She works with the homeless a lot, for the Caring Hands shelter. And with Animals Are People Too."

He got to his feet. "I have a picture," he said. He went to his room and came back out holding a frame picture of himself and Penny. He stared at it as he walked, the familiar ache in his chest returning.

"That's her," he sighed, holding it out to Sheldon.

	"I can see how that might happen," he said when Billy said she never mentioned a Leonard. Sheldon looked at the picture. "Oh, that's not her," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy nodded. He took the picture back and stared at it as he flopped back on the couch again. He sighed. He couldn't believe he'd screwed something like this up. "I shouldn't have told her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-02 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	He looked over at Billy, tilting his head slightly. "That you're Dr Horrible?" he asked. "She wasn't impressed? Or didn't like the name. Because I can see how that would happen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Billy glared at him. Again with the rudeness. He'd say something but it was becoming clearer to him that it was just how he acted. And as far as he could tell, there was no malice behind it. Just a massive lack of tact.

"The name is fine," he said, tersely. "She ... She was just shocked by it. Upset," he added. He hated that he'd made her cry.

"I just thought - I thought I should tell her. Because if I didn't tell her and she found out some other way it'd have been worse. Maybe I should have told her sooner? But then she wouldn't have gone out with me at all."

He sighed heavily. Maybe that would have been better. He wouldn't know exactly what he was missing.

	Sheldon fidgeted on the couch, uncomfortable with how emotional Billy seemed to be. If he really were an evil genius, he couldn't care so much about this Penny. "Again, I am not good in these situations. There, there," he said, his voice devoid of emotions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy shook himself. "Sorry," he said. "I shouldn't be dumping all of this on you." "You just got here, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes I did," he said. "It seems an odd place. An alternate dimension. I was relieved to see I wasn't dancing, although I was pretty sure that I wouldn't be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Billy nodded. "It's a really odd place," he said. He had no idea what the dancing thing meant, and he had a feeling the explanation would be even more baffling, so he let it go.

"Until a week ago, it was the 18th century here," he said. "Woke up one morning in a colonial village. It lasted about a month and then it reverted back to this place," he said, looking around.
