Hello there, and welcome to what will most likely be the last chapter of this odd little series that everyone seems to like for some strange reason. I've got a lot of messages and reviews asking why I'm stopping here, and I told everyone that I'd be putting it all in this chapter, so. Here we go.

Backstory time: when I started Spinning Through Space (I was about 11 years old at the time), I had a whole ton of ideas and plans for this series. I originally planned to go all the way from the very first episode of Doctor Who (An Unearthly Child) and right up to Series 8 (which was what was being aired at the time)- yes, I somehow had the insane thought that I was going to do all the Doctor Who. All of it. After a couple of weeks of turning this thought over and over in my head, I realized- nope, this wasn't plausible. Okay, I said to myself. What if I… just do New Who?

And so this series was born.

When I wrote the finale to Spinning Through Space, I had plenty of ideas for the next season, as you can probably see from the 'teaser trailer' that I put up for it. I've still got all of those ideas, but not enough motivation to actually, you know, write them. School's exploded, real life's exploded, I've got into so many new fandoms, and I have so many ideas for stories that I can't write because I always feel guilty about not updating An Awful Lot of Running.

TL;DR- I've lost motivation for this whole thing. I can't keep writing for it without everything sounding forced and without humor, and I'd like to stop it before it starts getting worse.

I'm better at writing oneshots and short stories, really. Chaptered stories are the bane of my existence… -_-

However, I have some good(ish?) news- well, it all depends on how people feel. I'll tell you all about it at the end of this 'chapter'.

For now—here, have all of the plotlines and short scenes that I wrote for the rest of this season! ^-^

Episode 3- The Howling Wind

This would have basically been a kind of Halloween- themed episode in which there would have been a werewolf, and Jo Grant. I hadn't really got as far as the ending, or even the middle, but it was kind of a cool concept. I started this episode, and got a reasonable way into it- you can see it below. :)

"Hello?" said the woman into the piece of plastic and nanotechnology in her hand. It crackled for a moment, and then a voice drifted out.

"Ace? Is that you? How did you even get our numb-"

"That doesn't matter," the woman interrupted. "Look, I'm in a bit of trouble at the moment, and-"

"I didn't even think this thing had a telephone."

"Sentience installed one for me."

"Ah." Pause. "Look, we were planning to have popcorn and a movie night. I don't really feel like an adventure right now."

She slid down the wall she was leaning on. "How about this: werewolves."

Pause.

"Werewolves?" said the voice from the device eagerly. "Cool!" There was a beat. "Uh… I mean, no. Absolutely not."

The woman couldn't help but grin. "You're interested, I can tell."

"Am not."

"Are so."

A sigh. "Okay, maybe just a bit. But… we were going to watch Back to the Future…"

"Ooh, really? I love that movie!" said the woman eagerly, then composed herself. "Seriously, though. Please?"

"All right," said the voice grumpily after a second of deliberation. "But only because you saved our butts all those times. And you owe us."

The woman's grin spread a bit more. "I always do."

"I'll get Sentience to track the call. See you soon!"

"Will do." With a click, the call disconnected, and the woman slipped it into her pocket, standing up. She considered the shadows for a moment.

"Come on," she said loudly. "I know you're out there."

There was a snarl from the shadows, and a looming shadow formed.

"Come and get me," she yelled.

Five seconds later, a scream echoed through the entire castle- loud and indignant. It was rapidly cut off.

Five minutes after that, a small cardboard box formed, and its occupants trooped out- to the rescue.

But they were already too late.

(opening credits segment goes here)

"The island's called Transylvania," reported Hobbes, reading from a OmniPedia article he had printed out. "Sounds ominous, right? That's because it is."

"Spare us the theatrics," Rose yawned. "Get to the point."

Hobbes tucked the paper under his arm, and shrugged. "The point is that there's been a series of mysterious murders there recently."

"Ace mentioned werewolves," pointed out Calvin. Rose just laughed.

"Werewolves don't exist," she said.

Calvin jumped up to sit on the console, and idly played with a few switches. "That's what you said about those mutant hamsters."

She looked vaguely embarrassed. "Yes, well…"

"And Donald Trump," Hobbes chimed in. "You didn't believe us when we told you about him."

Rose sniffed. "I still stick to the firm belief that he's a figment of everyone's imagination."

"I don't think anybody has a wild enough imagination to create him," Calvin said, setting co-ordinates. "So. To Transylvania?"

"To Transylvania," Rose sighed, shrugging. "It wasn't as if we were going to do anything interesting…"

The castle had stood on the island for many years, and it didn't look as if it were about to stop doing that anytime soon. Big, black, and imposing- it ticked all of the boxes for the application form 'creepy secret vampire hideout'. It was the only castle of its kind on Transylvania, and it was the centre of all the mysterious disappearances. It was on this particular castle- right in front of it, in fact- that the Time Machine landed, on half-past twelve at night.

Sentience waved the three time travellers off with a vague, mom-like warning to 'not go playing with any bug-eyed aliens, and to wrap up warm'.

"Nice place," said Hobbes as soon as he set eyes on the castle, and they all stood there, admiring the view for a moment.

"If I ever grow up to become a ruthless dictator," Calvin said decisively. "I'm so getting a castle like that."

Rose sighed. "Calvin, you're never going to grow up."

"I know," he said, with a touch of mournfulness. "But, hey! It's good to have live goals, right?"

With that, they made the short walk to the front doors of the castle- as big and imposing as the rest of it- and read the inscription in bronze over them. Heartshaven Castle.

"Heart Shaven?" Calvin read aloud with a frown.

"I think it's meant to be 'Hearts Haven'," said Rose helpfully.

"Cool name, either way," Hobbes concluded, and knocked twice on the thick wood of the doors. The sound seemed to echo in the silence of the night, and there was the muffled sound of running footsteps from inside. Then, a clicking noise, and the doorknob twisted. The door opened slowly, with a dreadful squealing that came from no-one having oiled it for quite a long time.

Calvin, Hobbes and Rose exchanged apprehensive glances.

The door reached a point where it was open enough for a face to peer out. It was a woman- quite old, but with friendly eyes and short blonde hair that hung around her face. When she spoke, it was with a cheerful British accent.

"Oh!" she said, sounding rather surprised. "I wasn't expecting visitors, especially not while, well…" she trailed off. "You do know about the murders?" she asked, rather uncertainly.

"That's kind of why we're here," said Rose.

The woman opened the door a bit further. "You'd better come in, then," she said, with a smile that seemed to light up her whole face. "I'm Jo. Ace said you'd be coming."

The inside of the castle was equally as dark, but someone- probably Jo- had attempted to brighten up the place a bit with some strategically-placed torches. Rather than making it cosier, it had the effect of casting looming shadows across every wall. Wind whistled through cracks in the walls. It was, all in all, quite desolate.

Jo noticed the way that Calvin, Hobbes and Rose were looking around the place, and shifted a bit sheepishly. "It's nicer in the west wing," she explained. "The original owners used to live there. I think they left the rest of the castle this way to freak people out."

"That's what I'd do," remarked Calvin mildly.

"Don't ever become an evil genius," Hobbes sighed. "The universe would never survive it."

The west wing was indeed rather nice. It was styled in a comfortable manner, with a lot of squishy furniture around. Calvin picked a particularly fluffy couch and dove onto it with great enthusiasm.

Episode 4- School Reunion

The summary for this episode in my notes went as follows: An investigation at Calvin's old school turns out to be just that bit more deadly when aliens from his past, as well as an old friend, turn up.

I remember being really excited for this one, mainly because it would have seen the return of Susie Derkins and a lot of the original comic strip characters. Here's the main plot points that I had in mind for this one:

- It opens at Calvin's old school, with Calvin sitting down in class as usual with the rest of his classmates, and being obnoxious/annoying/all the other stuff we remember from the comic strip… and instead of Mrs Wormwood walking in to start the class, it's Rose, who has somehow managed to fake her teaching degree. Go figure.

- It centres around Calvin trying to readjust to school life from several years of travelling around (and failing miserably, but everyone else just figures that he's just being weird like usual), Hobbes trying to find an alien threat while Rose and Calvin keep everyone distracted, and Susie becoming increasingly suspicious.

- Everyone in the school finds it really weird that Ms Tyler actually likes Calvin, and he seems to like her back, although he insults her and is generally obnoxious in her class.

- The alien threat gets out of control at some point.

- Susie proves that she's badass.

- It ends with Calvin & crew dropping off Susie in the 19th century in England so she can get on with her life in a different part of the world (wink wink Madame Vastra wink)

Episode 5/6- The Silver Sands/Frozen Metal

All I've got for this two parter are some vague notes that I made like a year ago and some things that I pieced together from thinking about it really really hard. So here's the summaries for the two episodes-

The Silver Sands- With Mickey on board, the travellers set off again. Destination- Morocco. But what they find there may be more than just scorpions.

Frozen Metal- The time links are deteriorating. The universe is collapsing. There's only one thing that they can do... it's not the best option.

So, as you can probably see, these two mark the return of Mickey Smith (somehow… I don't remember how I was going to go about doing that). As you can also probably guess, they were going to involve the Cybermen. It was going to be kind of based off Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel and there was going to be a parallel universe theme too?

Also, Sarah-Jane Smith would have been in there too, definitely. That was definitely a Thing That Was Going To Happen.

Episode 7- Wild Side

So, as of this episode, Mickey would have been gone. This was kind of vague too, but here's the things that were going to happen.

- CAMPING TRIP IN WISCONSIN. That's what this was going to be about. Because why not.

- Rose, Calvin and Hobbes try to go without technology for a week, because also why not. This includes anything Calvin's ever built, and Sentience, by the way.

- That part from the trailer where they sing 'When I'm Gone'? This is where that happens.

- Aliens keep invading.

- Cute stargazing scenes.

- That's it. That's the story.

Episode 8- Mummy of Paris

Mmmm, Paris. Mmmm, mummies.

To start off this, I'll give you the opening paragraph of how this story would have gone:

The woman on the motorbike spat out blood from her mouth, and gunned the throttle viciously, sending the bike careening through the streets of Paris.

City of Love. Huh, that was a laugh.

It would have a lot more love if she'd have the chance to stop and appreciate it, she supposed. And maybe if the killer mummies behind her would stop chasing her. The bloody things were absolutely relentless.

Speaking of which...

She pulled the bike sharply sideways so she could reach into her bag and pull out two silver cans. She twisted the cap off one, and threw it as hard as she could. It spun through the air, and landed in a side street. It lit up with a bang as the high-powered explosive inside the can went off.

She laughed. "Wicked," she said under her breath, and sped up a slanting roof, jumping off the side of it when she got close enough. Her bike would have collapsed long ago if it weren't for the improvements she had made a while back.

(The mummies were still following her, she'd better get a move on)

The bike landed with an earth-shattering crunch on street level, and she turned off into a side street, pulling out a sleek black mobile phone with one hand, and pressing a speed dial button. She tossed the other silver can behind her to where she knew her pursuers were, still. A satisfying boom echoed behind her, but she didn't have time to appreciate it.

"It's me," she yelled into the phone over the roar of the bike. "I could use a lift! And possibly a rescue, while you're at it!"

She grimaced, and ricocheted off a wall, using the momentum to bounce up to roof level. "Look, I said I was sorry about last time! Is it really my fault that you got attacked by a mutant snowman...?"

She pressed the phone between her shoulder and her ear. "Just hurry, yeah?"

Quickly hanging up, she stuffed the phone back in her jacket pocket, and changed direction completely, and did the most stupid thing that she had done that week.

Well, maybe not that week. The past few hours, maybe?

It didn't matter, because now she (and the bike) were falling from a hundred metres up towards the ground.

A cardboard box whirred into existence below her just before she hit.

"Okay," said the six-year-old boy standing in front of a row of computer banks and whizzing gears. "Who did you blow up this time?"

As you can see, this would have been another story involving Ace. Also, I'm fairly certain that Bernice Summerfield would have shown up in some form, or at least as a cameo.

The plot, as I had it in my head, went like this:

Calvin & crew touch down in 18th century Paris, but Calvin and Hobbes are busy fixing the Time Machine/Sentience, so they tell Rose to go off without them. Shortly after that, they get the call from Ace telling them to pick her up. Ace drops in (as shown) and tells them that she's found Rose. In a sarcophagus. Dead.

I have no idea where this would have gone.

But still. Mummies! In Paris! What's not to love?

Episode 9- Mission: In Hospital

Again, just vague notes. Here's the summary:

The hospital on Terminus has many secrets, not least of which involve a mysterious gas that creeps at night.

So yes, this story would have featured Nyssa of Traken. Because Nyssa's awesome. Here's what would have happened.

- The story opens with Hobbes and Rose frantically dragging an unconscious Calvin into the hospital, refusing to tell anyone what had happened to him. Nyssa (who doesn't know them, obviously) takes charge of the situation and puts him under intensive care.

- Hobbes and Rose really don't know what's happened to Calvin at all. He piloted the Time Machine to crash on Terminus for unknown reasons.

- Meanwhile, a sentient gas is going about, suffocating patients in the hospital horribly. Nyssa tries to investigate, bumps into Hobbes and Rose, who are doing the same thing, and they all get suspicious of each other.

- Calvin disappears, and everyone panics

- Turns out that Calvin engineered the whole thing in order to trap the sentient gas that had some special significance that I couldn't quite work out (?)

Episode 10- The Monster Hunters

Okay, but if I feel guilty about abandoning this series for one reason only, it would be this episode, since Golden Keyblade suggested it to me and helped me develop it, and it's such a good concept.

Opening monologue (by Golden Keyblade):

A long time ago, when I still lived at home, I used to think there were monsters under my bed. But a lot of time has gone by, and now I know better. Now I KNOW there were monsters under my bed. And even though they seem scary in the dark...

...they're even worse in the day.

This would be a spooky-ish story in which Calvin, Rose, and Hobbes go and try to get rid of the monsters underneath a kid's bed, Ghostbuster's style. Actually, as a matter of fact- remember these lines from the trailer?

(Cut straight to Calvin, Hobbes and Rose standing in front of a house, decked out in black suits.)
CALVIN: Who you gonna call?
(The house shakes, they all glance up nervously.)
ROSE: Maybe... we should get Ghostbusters in this time?
HOBBES: Not likely.

Uh huh. They were meant for this episode.

So, stuff that happens:

- Calvin mentions that he learned the monster's weaknesses from 'fighting off the ones back home'

- The name of the species of monsters is 'phobivores'- they, quite literally, feed off fear.

- Lots of joking around in the face of danger, lots of horror movie clichés

- The kid is young Melanie Bush (ooooh plot twist! Yeah no)

I also really wanted this dialogue to happen.

CALVIN: You don't think this is weird?
MEL: Why would I? Stranger things have happened.
HOBBES: Stranger than a group of strangers crashlanding in your room in a cardboard box? Do tell.
MEL: Well, there's Belgium.
ROSE: …Belgium?
MEL: Yeah, Belgium's pretty weird, isn't it? If it can happen, this can.

Episode 11- Night At The Museum

I have literally nothing for this episode except for the title, and the vague knowledge that it would have probably been something to do with the paintings at the Louvre coming to life. *shrug* Also, a Classic companion would have made a return here, but I really don't know which one.

Episode 12/13- 2012/Doomsday

According to the Ancient Mayan calendar, the world was supposed to end in 2012. And it didn't. But now Calvin has hatched a plan to see what really happened to the world. A plan that will take them to the dawn of mankind.

So, the finale, right? You'd probably think I have a lot of stuff for this one. You'd be wrong.

I just thought it would be a really cool idea if the prophesized 'end of the world' in 2012 had actually happened, but something Calvin & co. (Ace would have been there too) had done to prevent it rewrote time or something. A doomsday machine or something, I dunno. So, there's nothing really defined there.

What I'm really clear about is what would have happened after they'd disabled the doomsday device and stuff. Here's what would have happened:

Gallifrey would have returned.

Something I'm kind of sad about in Series 9 of Doctor Who is how there's no mention of Romana on Gallifrey. WELL I HAVE POWER IN MY FANFICTION AND I SAY THERE SHALL BE ROMANA SO THERE. (Ignore me, I'm an idiot)

Romana is President of Gallifrey in this universe, and the doomsday machine was somehow linked to the return of Gallifrey in some bizarre convoluted way. Also, the fact that Charles (the dinosaur, remember?) keeps appearing in and out of stories with nobody noticing he's gone would have been addressed.

Remember these lines from the trailer?

(Flash between images of a white screen, and footage of a woman in a red cloak stepping forwards.)
SENTIENCE (V.O.): There's not just one universe.
CALVIN (V.O.): Do you know this woman?
WOMAN (V.O.): I've always survived.
(Rose's shocked face, close up.)
WOMAN (V.O.): And I always will.
ACE (V.O.): But... it can't be.

Yup, the WOMAN is Romana. Woohoo.

So, basically, at the end of the story, Rose is trapped in an alternate dimension (much like the original Doomsday) and Calvin and Hobbes are freaking out because she's like their best friend and now she's gone-

And then Donna materializes. :D

That's about it, as far as Calvin Who goes.

So yes. I'm really grateful for all of the support and lovely comments and every single message that you have ever sent me- and even you guys that lurked in the background, only following this story, and not doing much else. Love you all. *mwah*

It's highly unlikely that I'll ever do much more in this fic's universe.

But I'd love it if other people could do some stuff of their own.

So, this is for all you people who've offered to help write this thing with me, or just want to write a thing. Go wild, people. If you want to take one of the concepts that I've listed above for unwritten episodes, and turn that into a proper story, go for it. If you want to make up a new plot, do it please, I want to see it. If you want to write an AU in which Evil Calvin from Faction Paradox/ Bad Wolf never got killed and went on to take over the universe… I really want to see that, do it to.

In other words- *Shia LaBeouf voice* JUST. DO IT.

But if you do, tell me about it, since I want to read it and review it and add it to my favorites list.

So, as for me? Well, I'm going to be on this website for a very long time (hopefully!) and I very much hope that I'll write some stuff in fandoms that you like. I'll just be hovering around, though, while I finish my latest project, and then I'll be off to write some more stuff for the Omniverse Event (check out the TVtropes page for that if you don't know what it is). And then? Who knows?

This is Kitty Eden, a.k.a. TheBigCat, signing off from the Calvin Who universe.

-March 2016-

"Hey, Calvin?"

Calvin looked up from the computer that all of them were gathered around, reading the final chapter of An Awful Lot of Running. "What is it, Tyler?"

"Does this mean that we're gone?" Rose asked with a frown. "You know, since there's going to be no more things in this series?"

"Don't be stupid," Ace interjected, folding her arms pointedly. "Didn't you hear what she said? Some people might write new stuff for us."

"Yeah, but what if they don't?" Rose pointed out. "Will we just… I don't know, drift around in time and space forever?"

Hobbes grinned and shook his head. "Are you kidding me? Of course that won't happen."

"Do you really think anyone could keep us in one spot forever?" Sentience laughed, twirling around and turning into a bird that flew up to perch in the high rafters of the Time Machine.

"Exactly!" Ace crowed.

"Come on, guys," Calvin beamed, getting up from where he was sitting. "Let's go on an adventure!"

"Where to?" Hobbes asked, already working at the controls, spinning around the central console to reach at the hard-to-get levers.

"Does it matter?" Calvin said cheerfully.

"Wherever the wind takes us," Sentience decided, forming back into her normal, human-shaped form. Charles crawled out from the rafters and along her shoulder.

"Exactly," Hobbes agreed, and hit the switch.

"Geronimo!" everyone yelled together.

The End

No, not the End.

…

THE BEGINNING.
