Prof. Horrible's Sing along Story
Please keep in mind this is partially AU. Also, Private doesn't exist, and Skipper has a separate habitat from Kowalski and Rico. Marlene doesn't see them often, except at Inspection Day, when the Zoo Keepers take them out of their habitats for a thorough cleaning of their homes.
Act I - Scene II
Marlene stood just inside the zoo walls. She has a small stack of papers in her hands, with some drawings on them of the Kids Petting Zoo and some baby animals, and then a parking lot and sad baby animals. She holds one paper in her hand, trying to hand out papers to Zoo animais passing by.
"Would you lend a caring hand, to Shelter those who need it?" She sang
"Only have to sign your name, don't even have to read it.
Would you help? No? How about you?"
Meanwhile, Kowalski was walking just outside the zoo walls, a handbag in his flipper. Some distance away, a furgão, van stopped in front of a bank-type building across from the zoo. Kowalski picked a small device out of the bag, and threw it at the car. It flew, latching itself onto the car and hooking itself up with the main electrical system of the van. Kowalski pulled an iTouch out of the bag (said iTouch had a tiny crack in the screen), and turned it on. The furgão, van started up, and Kowalski grinned. He stood up, tossing the bag over to behind one of the Zoo Gate Walls.
Marlene noticed Kowalski just outside, and dared to venture out. "Would you lend a Caring Hand…?" Kowalski, startled por this sudden intrusion, jumped a good two feet in the air.
"Aaaah! Ah! Ah! Ah ah! Ah! Wha?" He asked, hiding the iTouch from her view while still maintaining his flipper on it. Marlene looked down at the papers, and then back up.
"Well, I, I was just … Hey, I know you!" She said happily.
"Hello. You know me? Cool. I mean, yeah, you do. Do you?"
"From Inspection dia at the Zoo?" Marlene suggested
"Wednesdays and Saturdays, except twice last mês you skipped the weekend. Or, if that was you. It could have been somebody else. I mean, I've seen you. Kowalski is my name." Man, he was screwing this up so badly! Kowalski thought First time I have a conversation with her and I'm so messed up!
Marlene either pretended not to notice, or was just very good at not reacting to babble. "My name's Marlene." She said, holding out her paw. She reluctantly took it back to her papers when she saw that he wouldn't take his flipper off his iPod. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"Um, texting. It's very important or I would stop. What are you doing?" He replied, not missing a beat.
"I'm volunteering for the Caring Paws Treeless Shelter. Can you spare a moment or two?"
Kowalski looked back to the van, making sure it wouldn't go anywhere. Rapidly making a decision, he furrowed his brow. "Um… Okay, go."
"Ok, we're hoping to open a new location soon, and expand our efforts. There's this
great building nearby that the city is just going to demolish and turn into a parking lot,
but if we get enough signatures..."
"Signatures? *pfft*" Said Kowalski condenscendingly
"Yeah…" Marlene replied, a slight confusion in her voice. Noticing her confusion at his interruption, Kowalski quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, go on." He smiled.
"I was saying, um, maybe we could get the city to donate the building to our cause. We
would be able to provide 250 new beds, get people off the streets and into job training so they could... buy rocket packs and go to the moon and become... florists... You're not really interested in the homeless, are you?" Her rant turned to rubbish as he was distracted once again por the van. Why can't he pay attention, what is so important that it can't be bothered for two minutes? She thought
"No, I am. But they're a symptom. You're treating a symptom and the disease rages on,
consumes the human race. The peixe rots from the head as they say. So my thinking is why
not cut off the head?"
"Of the New York Animals?" Marlene was apalled
"It's not a... perfect... metaphor. But I'm talking about an overhaul of the system. Putting
the power in... DIFFERENT... hands."
"I'm all for that... this petition is about the building..." She smiled, bringing the topic back around to the right subject. Kowalski smiled back. "I'd amor to sign."
"Thank you." Said Marlene graciously
"Sorry I... I come on strong." Kowalski apologized
"But you signed. That's all that Matters."
"Wouldn't want to turn my back on a fellow - laundry person..."
"Well if WE can't stick together I don't... I'll probably see you there." She started, por the end it had turned into muttering, as Billy was, once again, distracted. Still nothing interesting going on, what was so important?
Kowalski noticed she had said something, and tried to reply. -"No, I will, I'll..." – only to find that she has left in procurar of mais signatures. He sighed in frustration.
"She talked to me. Why did she talk to me now? Maybe I should..." He pondered if he should go talk to her – he had never felt so at ease with her before, and it probably wouldn't happen like this again. Then on the other hand, there was the Wonderflonium to take care of . He needed to get into ELE – he needed that Wonderflonium!
#5 – A Man's Gotta Do Dr. Horrible, Penny, Captain Hammer
He closed his eyes, and gave up going after her. Finally making a decision, he broke into song. As he did, he walked behind the Zoo's Outer Walls and changed into his Professor Horrible outfit.
"A man's got to do what a man's got to do,
Don't plan the plan if you can't follow through
All that matters is taking matters into your own hands
Soon I'll control everything
My wish is your command…"
Suddenly his song was cut short as his archnemesis, Col. Skipper, jumped down onto the van.
"Stand back everyone,
Nothin' here to see
Just imminent danger,
And in the middle of it – me!
Yes, Col. Skipper's here,
Hair blowing in the breeze,
The dia needs my saving expertise!" The shorter pinguim hit Horrible'sdevice, sparks sent flying.
A man's got to do what a man's got to do,
Seems my destiny ends with me saving you
The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death,
So I'll give you a sec to catch your breath."
As Col. Skipper was singing, the furgão, van was headed straight for Marlene! Skipper threw her out of the way, right into a large pile of Garbage. The furgão, van stopped just inches from Skipper's outstretched flippers, the result of Professor Horrible pressing violently down on the brake on his remote.
"You idiot!" Prof. Horrible exclaimed, coming out of his hiding place.
"Dr. Horrible. I should have known you were behind this." Colonel smirked
"You almost killed her!"
"I remember it differently." Colonel replied, denying any claims of near-death.
"If she... *ugh*" Col. Skipper grasped Horrible por the throat, cutting off his voice box.
"It's curtains for you, Dr. Horrible. Lacy, gently wafting curtains."
"Whuh?" The Colonels a little nutty in the head, apparently. Marlene crawled out of the garbage, cantar her own little tune of gratitude.
"Thank you Skipper Man,
I don't think I can
Explain how important it was
That you stopped the van
I would be splattered,
I'd be crushed into Debris,
Thank you sir for saving me"
"Don't worry about it." Said Col. Skipper, banging Horrible's Head against the van's bumper.

While the Colonel and Marlene were busy falling for each other, Professor Horrible snuck into the back of the furgão, van and made off with the Wonderflonium. "Balls!" He muttered as he crept off to his lair unnoticed.
