"Oh my," said Honey, on being confronted with the scene. "Yes. That is pretty much how it happened. The bunker where Panther Zora was going to be brought back into this world, I threw her back into the machine that was to have solidified her, scattering her particles across the solar system, uhm. Yes."
"And then you stood triumphantly at the stairs, looking up into the sun, ready to face the brand new world," pointed out Kasumi.
"Actually I tried and made it about halfway up those steps before my systems started failing. I collapsed after trying the door and not being able to get it open."
Ranma swallowed nervously. "So... you died."
"Yes," whispered Honey.
"They said that some of yer friends were left and tried to fix ya, but they didn't know how and..." Ranma tried to come up with something to say. Other than he wanted to read some of those tankubon now and see what all this gal had done. Certainly the busty redheaded girl kicking monster butt on the cover caught his interest. Kinda reminded him of his girl form but taller.
"That sounds right," said Honey. "I had major systems failures. It doesn't show it in this comic but those claws and that spear on page 178 really hurt."
Kasumi put a hand over one of those of her idol. "But you're here now."
"Yes," said Honey, brightening some. "So you need a maid and a cook and a bodyguard? Just one 'Honey Flash' away!"
"I already do all that actually, except the bodyguarding, but I suppose I can use the help," admitted Kasumi.
"This is so strange," said Honey as she looked at the manga. "Here, I'm a character from a manga by someone named 'Go Nagai' and where I came from you're characters in an anime by 'Rumiko Takahashi'."
"Isn't she the one who did 'Urusei Yatsura'?" Kasumi asked.
"That's the one," agreed Honey.
"Oh my, I wish I could get some of those," admitted Kasumi. "I probably get involved in all sorts of adventures and no doubt my hobbies get some story lines and I wonder if she uses any puns based on my religious preferences."
"Uhm, well," said Honey, wondering if there was a politic way of saying that she was a two-dimensional housewife who had breathed in too many cleaning fumes in the episodes she'd seen. "I didn't see that much of it, and it mainly focussed on Ranma's adventures. Or misadventures perhaps."
"I had an anime on me?" asked Ranma, the idea finally penetrating. "Whoa. Like 'Fist Of The Northstar' or something? I'm some noble yet tragic martial artist forced to deal with insane martial artists and this violent tomboy and stuff like that?"
"Well," said Honey, regretting she'd brought it up now. "Not exactly."
