This is actually a very good start. I like your characterizations of River (Tam) and Melody. Please continue this.

I like this. Please update soon. :)

I'm intrigued! Hope you update soon! :D

The correct spelling is Simon.

Funny to see this - I was just wondering if there were any River/River crossover fics, given their similar .. assassin training crazy background! Are you going to continue the story? I thought this chapter was pretty awesome even by itself.. :)

I'm enjoying this so far and look forward to seeing where you go with it!

By the way you mis-spelt Wash's name about half way through this chapter ("Tell Walsh we're back—he can take off, we don't want to risk hanging around.) also I always thought Simon's name was spelt Simon instead of Simeon.

I bet Kaylee and Melody will get along great.

I approve! Continue! Two rivers in one ship?

Two of my favorite things in one story... Two Rivers!
