Aww. :) I like this "cute, ditzy, nothing little story"!

I love how both guys were in each of their 'dreams'. That was cute.

Good Job! :D

I liked this, but it ended kind of funny. I had a hard time keeping up!
icthus chapter 5 . 4/19/2006
No complaints until the middle of the chapter... The door wouldn't knock. Someone would knock at the door, though. :P

Again, we can't tell if Rydam really wanted to vomit, but it may have looked like he wanted to. Try to keep in mind we aren't the captain, but Katja.

I was confused by Rydam's response to Ian at the very end of the chapter... I'm not sure how you could reword it to make it less confusing, though. Hm.

icthus chapter 4 . 4/19/2006
Again, since "I" is not Becca, I wouldn't know that she was searching for her shoes until after I'd opened the door. And I don't think Becca would have yelled, if she had just woken up. And I don't think she would've so quickly calmed down. At least, I wouldn't of. Also... what if Katja had been woken up by a sailor who knew she wasn't supposed to be out of her room?

Not much else to comment on... I don't think Ian would have necessarily recognized the meaning of 'nuh uh', though, due to the differences in time and culture.

Still good!

icthus chapter 3 . 4/19/2006
Hmm. I don't like the sudden lapse of "my" point of view to talking about Becca's. I think it would be a better idea to state something like...

"I laid my head back on the mattress and stared at the bare ceiling, waiting boredly for Becca to return. When she did, she told me about how her night had gone..." And then launching into Becca's thing. That, perhaps, would be more effetive for the picture you're trying to paint.

Hmm... I think you revealed way too quickly, and in the wrong way, that Ian and Rydam are brothers. We wouldn't know that until we were told so by either Ian or Rydam. Something like that would have been fine, if this were not a first person account.

When Becca says the following, "But I should remember the fact we time traveled 200 years into the past", I think it'd be better to add an "around", or "about", or some such, before the 200 years, because the girls haven't been told the year that it is in the time they've traveled to.

I liked the second to the last paragraph, though the last paragraph was more like a sentence. I really liked it, though the last sentence of the paragraph was a smidgen melodramatic.

Good stuff.

icthus chapter 2 . 4/19/2006
I think it would be cool to know if the girls heard an accent in the guy's voice. Also, it would be nice to get a brief description of his appearance when the girls first saw him, so it'd be easier to envision.

Also, I think they realized what had happened as far as the time travel far too quickly. I think they'd still be trying to deny the fact that it had really happened... At least, I would be.

Hehe... I liked the wanting to go home and have Mom fix everything. That entertained me.

"I didn't want to be in this forsaken place with these horrible people and terrifying situations. I want to be at home, with my obnoxious little brother and a comfortable lifestyle. I want to be in my bed with all my pillows and blankets, safe and sound..." You slipped from past to present tense, which was rather disruptive of the picture being painted. Keep an eye out for that. I know it's hard to not slip up in that every now and then.

Hm. Another thing would be to describe the way they are saying things. There's a million ways to say sentences, and it would clarify things quite a bit if we could be aware of their tone of voice.

It all looks good... Definitely entertaining. :)

icthus chapter 1 . 4/19/2006
The first part of your story jumped from "when we woke up one morning" to "last night we spent the night". It doesn't flow very well, and was a little disruptive to getting started.

I really like the confused feel you gave this chapter. It makes it feel less like a same old, same old narrative, and more like I'm actually Katja. (That's an awesome name, by the way... Where'd you find it?)
