Welcome, welcome to the third and last installment of the Wanderer of Time Trilogy! :D

Welcome back and hello again to any returning readers! And a very warm welcome and greetings to any new readers who have either recently started to read the trilogy, or have just found this part. :) If this is the first part you are reading for this trilogy, I must warn you that you will be lost and confused if you have not already read parts one and two. To read both Wanderer of Time and Wanderer of Time: Silence Begins. If not, then this part of the trilogy on its own might not make any sense whatsoever. Or, if you're like me, sometimes you like starting at random in a series just to see how you'll like it in the future. I do that sometimes with other book series. ;)

Special note: In this part of the trilogy, things will be pushed to the limit. There will be very dark themes and much more mature topics. More towards the middle and later of the story than anywhere else. I'm hoping it will still be counted for rated T, but at any time if any of you believe that it might be more of a rated M story, then just let me know and I'll change it. I do not wish to make anyone uncomfortable in what events occur in the story.

Also, Warning: Very harsh death and blood within this chapter.

So, without waiting any further, let's dive in and enjoy part three! And I hope you all enjoy Third Wanda as well! I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed in hopes that you all do. :)

Wanderer of Time: Darkness Within

Chapter 1: Christmas with the Tylers

Laughter and cheer could be heard coming from the dining room. A Christmas cracker popped loudly, creating an echo down the hallway of the small flat, and even more laughter followed. Dishes clinked and clanked as a family enjoyed their holiday dinner together. All was calm and peaceful. All merry on the wonderfully happy day.

This was all Wanda heard and felt as she appeared from the white light into the wrecked bedroom of the Tyler flat. She lay on the ground, struggling with each breath as her lung continued to fill up with blood. Some of which trailed out of her mouth as she gasped out in a rasping breath. Clutching at her chest, she felt even more blood flow out onto her clothes and onto the carpet below her. Much of it spread out in a pool of red. Her mind and body was struggling past the shock. There was no wonderful feeling of warmth like her last death. There was only agony.

Struggling, she managed to roll over on her side. She blinked away the hazy from her eyes as her vision began to fade. Her other heart pounded away in panic. It was erratic. She knew if she did not try to calm herself down, it would soon give out. She tried to breathe in and out slowly, but was failing. Her breath as lost to her. Another pop of a cracker was heard. People were laughing away happily, completely unaware of her presence in the other room.

Wanda grasped at the carpet with a shaking hand, trying to pull herself to the doorway. But it was useless. Her fingers had gone numb and cold. Her muscles were not functioning properly as her whole body shook and trembled in her growing death. She was nothing more than dead weight now. Spurting out more blood, she struggled to intake some air. Trying to at least use her voice to save herself.

"H-he-el-l-lp," she rasped out in a hoarse voice, trying to call to the people out in the dining room. But she barely even made a sound. The blood in her throat (more of which she gurgled out) made it impossible to truly make a strong voice. However, she pushed through and tried again. "D-Doc-to-r-r." Nothing. Even if she were loud enough, they would still not hear her over the laughter and the telly.

She was going to die. Die in the room right next to them, and they would never know. They might find her later, but by then she would long be dead. Be nothing more than a stiff, cold, empty body. . . No. She could not let that happen. Not after everything she and the Doctor had been through. After everything they had done, all the love they had gained and lost. She was not going to just let herself die here, dammit. There had to be another way to gain their attention.

Fumbling around weakly in one of her cargo pant pockets, she prayed that it would actually be there at the ready. Feeling gleeful to finding it, shakily she pulled out her sonic. Pointing it at the doorway and making it go off, it buzzed and pulsed. But it was not loud enough for them to hear. Wheezing out in her breathing now, she focused her mind on the device. Point and think. That was what Eleven always said. Point and think. All she could think was to call the Doctor.

"Hold on. My sonic's going off," she heard the Doctor say. The dishes clanked some more as the others grew quiet. Wanda focused her mind, concentrating on getting his sonic to response. "Something's calling it."

"What is it, Doctor?" Wanda heard Rose ask curiously.

"It's not them aliens, is it?" questioned Mickey, sounding nervous.

"Oh, please don't say they've sent another Christmas tree," complained Jackie.

"No. No, it's something else," noted the Doctor. "Hang on, let me just . . . get a fix on the signal."

"Wait . . . Don't you hear that?" Rose spoke up, making them all go silent. "Mickey, turn the telly off." The news report shut off, making everything go still and hushed. Wanda pressed on her sonic, making the pulsing increase. "That sounds like—."

"Wanda's sonic," the Doctor spoke hurriedly. The chairs were heard crashing to the floor as everyone quickly ran from the dining room. Wanda let her arm drop to the floor in relief, no longer able to hold it up to the doorway as her arm and hands had gone completely numb. She simply lay there with the sonic held limply in her hand as they all came to the room.

"Oh, my god!" cried Rose upon the sight of the Time Lady on the floor. Blood all around her and on her. Blood coming up from her mouth as she spurted more out. The Doctor was at her side in an instant, rolling her over on her back.

"Wanda," he gasped in alarm, touching at her face and looking her over in a panic. Rose came to Wanda's other side and held onto her hand tightly.

"Wanda, oh god, what happened?" Rose cried as she looked over the Time Lady. Wanda tried to answer her, but gurgled and spurted more blood.

"I'll go get towels!" Jackie exclaimed, completely horrified by what was happening. She turned and rushed off back into the kitchen. Mickey ran after her to help.

"Wanda, listen to me, you need to regenerate," the Doctor told Wanda quickly. "Don't fight it. Just let it happen."

Wanda could only shake her head. He thought she was fighting it? She was trying to get it to happen. But nothing was occurring. Eleven had told her she needed him to be able to complete the process. But what was needed from him? She could not remember what he did to give her the spark for her regeneration. All she could recall was . . . someone holding her hand. As quickly as she could, Wanda fumbled her hand for the Doctor's. He seemed to notice she wanted his hand, so he grabbed her searching one and held on tightly.

"Hey, I'm here," he assured her, worried as to why she had not simply regenerated yet. All he could think was that something must have gone wrong. Terribly, dreadfully wrong. What could have happened to cause such injuries? Even something horrible enough not to allow regeneration? But then he saw it. A white, brilliant, glow was forming around Wanda's body. It was starting.

"Is she?" Rose asked, gazing down to the white glow in awe.

"She is. She's regenerating. We need to get back," the Doctor instructed Rose. He dropped Wanda's hand and grabbed Rose, making sure they both backed up to the doorway. But as soon as he let go of Wanda's hand, the glow stopped. Wanda whimpered as she clutched her hand at the air, desperately searching for the Doctor's again.

"I don't understand. Why did it stop?" Rose questioned, looking Wanda and the Doctor. "Yours didn't stop."

"I don't . . .," the Doctor shook his head, trying to think what was going wrong. He saw the way Wanda was reaching for him. Her eyes pleading with her choking as she tried to tell him something.

"H-h-ha-an-nds," she gurgled. He immediately dropped back down to her side, grabbing onto her hand. She pressed their palms together and used her other hand to keep his locked onto hers. The white glow started right up again. The Doctor shifted somewhat, unsure what he was doing. He felt a slight tug on his own regeneration energy, but it was only a small portion. Hardly even noticeable.

"Wanda, regeneration is dangerous. I have to stand back," he told her as he tried to remove his hand from hers. Wanda only shook her head as the glow around her increased.

She felt the energy building up within her. Increasing more and more by the second. The Doctor kept trying to pull away, but she only held on tighter. She could not let go. Everything would stop and she would die if they let go. And truth be told, she wanted him there for comfort. She wanted to tell him she loved him. To let him know that this her had always loved him. Even if they both had thought otherwise. But she could not get the words out. She would never get a chance to tell him she loved him through these lips ever again. Only her new lips could tell him now. She felt it coming. The change. The new her was being born. Here comes Third Wanda.

"I have the towels!" called out Jackie as she and Mickey came back from the kitchen. A bowel of warm water in one hand and towels in the next. They both stood in the doorway with Rose, staring at Wanda with wide eyes.

The energy reached its height and it seemed to flow out from her in rolling waves of white. Wisps of it surrounding everyone with warmth from the glowing light. Wanda slammed her eyes shut as she felt the warm energy coursing through her. Once again, everything within her burned and raced. As though she were on fire, but bathed in cool waters from the waves the energy flowed around her and over her skin. Within her she felt everything twisting and morphing into new shapes to fit the new body she would be receiving. Her heart and lung healed. Her bones shifted and she felt herself shrinking. She felt her hair growing and growing, spilling over her shoulders and pooling around on the floor. She felt her mind bursting wildly around as it seemed to jump start into action. Ready to process and solve everything and anything thrown at her. Everything about her felt light and airy. Or maybe that was giddy? Oh, yes. Giddy!

Then the process stopped. Wanda was left there on the floor, feeling healed, whole, and . . . giddy. Oooh, she liked giddy. Loved it. What she did not like was the damn sunburn and giant bruise feeling. That could go away. She did not like it. Oh! But she liked what her mind was doing. It kept jumping around with ideas and thoughts. She was thinking lots of thoughts! Nice thoughts. Loving thoughts. Oh, the Doctor. She loved the Doctor. Wait, was someone talking?

"Oh, is that reenergizing-thingy?" asked Jackie. "That was really beautiful."

"Hold on, that was different than what yours was, Doctor," spoke Rose. "Yours was all . . . violent and golden. Is it different for Time Ladies?"

"Uh, well, no . . . it's not supposed to be," the Doctor answered her.

As soon as Wanda heard the Doctor talking, she snapped her eyes open. She blinked, surprised to see what the room looked like. Everything was so . . . bright. As if everything had its own beautiful glow. Everything so bubbling and pretty. Wanda could stare hours at the little lights floating around the ceiling. Or was that just spots in her vision? Well, spots or not, they were dazzling.

"Wanda, how are you feeling?"

Her eyes darted quickly over to the voice. Ten was gazing down at her, brows raised high in bewilderment. Great worriment could be seen in his eyes. His wonderful brown eyes. Oh, she liked brown. She loved it. Everything about him. And Ten was . . . foxy.

Before anyone realized what happened, Wanda grabbed the Doctor's tie and jerked him down to her. She captured his lips in a heated kiss and pressed her hand in the back of his head to hold him there. The Doctor's eyes went wide with shock. Rose, Jackie, and Mickey all sort of blinked in surprise. Wanda pulled back with a loud smack and a large grin.

"Did anyone ever tell you you're foxy?" Wanda giggled. She blinked, realizing her voice sounded different. Much more . . . girlie. It was squeaky—no wait, it was giggly—no wait, it was . . . um, oh! It sounded like little bells. "Oh? Is that my new voice? Testing one, two, three. Testing. 'Eleven owls licked eleven little liquorice lollipops.' It's really squeaky compared to my last voice. And it sounds like I'm constantly giggling." She sat up in a rush, making them all sort of jump from her sudden movements. She stared around at them, blinking at all the beautiful glowing lights around their heads.

"No, wait!" she cried, grabbing her hair and pulling it to her face. She pouted greatly when she saw the light blonde hair in her hand. "Damn! I wanted to be ginger."

"Why did you want to be ginger?" Rose asked.

"Because I want to beat him to it first," Wanda replied, pointing at the Doctor who still remained sort of froze on the spot. He continued to blink in a daze from the searing kiss she had given him. Rose snorted at the sight of him just dumbly sitting there.

"You all right there, Doctor?" Rose asked with high amusement laced in her voice. Wanda gasped and jumped up, running to Rose and throwing her arms around the girl.

"Rose! Oh, I've missed you, girlie!" Wanda exclaimed happily. She pulled back suddenly, grabbing her hair again. "Hold on, I'm blonde like you now. Oh, look at this. This hair! It just keeps going down." She pulled at it, noticing how it was longer than any length she ever had before. "I feel like Rapunzel! Oh, if I let down my hair do you think the Doctor would climb it? Jackie!" Wanda suddenly grabbed the mother, making her drop the towels in shock.

"I've missed you! And Mickey!" Wanda exclaimed, all in a fit of delighted giggles. She hugged Mickey, making him drop the bowel of water. "Ha! So good to see my techie again! No, wait." She gasped pulling back to look out to the dining room. "Oh, my gosh. It's Christmas! I hardly ever get a chance to be at Christmas!" She bounced brightly out of the room and into the dining area. The group remained in their spots, unmoving as they all try getting their minds wrapped around what had occurred to their friend.

"Uh . . . what just happened?" Mickey asked, completely confused as to what was going on.

"Don't ask me. I haven't a clue," replied Jackie, shaking her head. She looked at Rose. "That's still Wanda, right?"

"Yeah. That's Third Wanda," Rose explained looking to the Doctor. "Doctor, snap out of it." She kicked him in the knee, making him shake his head to clear his mind from his daze and quickly stand up. They all hurriedly went into the dining room, watching how Wanda bounced around the room to look at all the decorations and lights.

"Oh, everything is just so bright and pretty," Wanda giggled away as she spun around and around while taking everything in. "Reminds me of the Aurora Mountains. Oh, mountains! I've missed mountains. We should go there. Oh, would you look at that! It's Christmas dinner. I haven't had Christmas dinner since the time at Jackson Lake's house. Ha! Turkey! I was right, Doctor. It's not ham that's needed, it's turkey! But I do like ham. And soufflés! I love baking—no wait, something's wrong!"

Wanda turned to them suddenly with a dead serious face on. They all sort of glanced to each other.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" asked Jackie.

"Something's dreadfully, horribly wrong," Wanda told them. She stormed right up to Rose who leaned back some anxiously. Was there something on her face? Wanda stood up and down on her toes as if comparing something between the two of them. "Look at that. I'm bloody short. No, I'm not just short. I'm tiny! I'm even shorter than Rose."

"Are you calling me short?" Rose asked. She laughed lightly on how cute Wanda's pout was when realizing she was short. Like a child's pout.

"Yes. Though, you're not the shortest I know," Wanda commented, crossing her arms to pout more. Rose had been short as a companion. However, Martha was the shortest companion during Ten's reign. But Clara was by far the smallest companion of them all. Now, Wanda was practically her size in height. "Damn! I hate being short."

She spun around, making her long hair fly around her. "Short and not ginger. Ha! I'm sounding more and more like you, Doctor. Doctor!" Wanda suddenly turned back around and leaped at the Doctor. He stumbled back as Third Wanda wrapped her arms around his neck. "You. Are. Foxy. Foxy, foxy, foxy!" She gave him another kiss. All the Doctor could do was blink dumbly at the situation. She let go and jumped down from him. Damn, she was really short. She had to practically stand on her tiptoes now if she wanted to reach up to kiss him—no wait, she didn't want to kiss him. She wanted to smack him. So, she did. She gave a sharp punch at his arm, making him wince at the light pain.

"Ow! What was that for?" he whined, rubbing at his arm with a pout.

"'Cause, I felt like it, and I'm cross with you. At least, I think I am. Ummm, yeah. Yeah, I am," she said lightly, spinning around some more in the room. Oh, everything was just so bright and bubbling She could stare at the lights all day. Or were they spots? She never concluded what she was seeing.

"Why are you cross with me?" the Doctor asked, wondering if this had something to do with the way she had to regenerate.

"Because seventy-two flipping years is way too damn long for a clichéd misunderstanding," Wanda replied easily and not really sounding cross at all. More slap-happy, really. "No, wait, I think that might have been mostly my fault there. Umm, yeah, it was. Completely my own idiotic fault. I'm a moron. Bad me!" She gave herself a harsh slapped on the head as self-punishment. She giggled more and spun around with her eyes darting around like she was seeing something they were not. The group standing away from the Time Lady all looked at each other, beginning to worry over the short blonde's actions.

"Uh, Wanda, are feeling okay?" Rose asked carefully, wondering if something was wrong. She remembered how the Doctor was after he regenerated. Was the same thing going to happen to Wanda?

"Wanda, I think you might need to sit down," the Doctor suggested cautiously.

"Oh, I'm not tired," Wanda said cheerfully. She stopped suddenly and turned to them, frowning in thought. "No, wait. I think I'm about to pass out." She looked up at the ceiling, seeming to think and analyze something. Then she nodded and beamed at them. "Yep. Passing out."

Instantly her eyes rolled up and she fell forward. They all jumped forward to catch her. She fell right into the Doctor's arms, completely unconscious. The Doctor held her close to him, watching how her eye lids fluttered, muttering quietly and happily. Sound asleep and at peace in his arms. His hands tightened on her sage jacket. He winced, knowing his Wanda was gone. Maybe not forever, knowing he would see her again in his future, but . . . He had just seen her only a few minutes ago. Alive and happy. And now this happens. She died, and in a rather nasty way at that. Second Wanda—the one who had been with him since the end of the Time War and helped him heal—was gone.

"Is she going to be all right?" asked Jackie.

"What the heck happened to her?" questioned Mickey. "That didn't happen on one of your travels, did it?"

"No, it must have happened in the future," Rose told them. She moved over to Wanda, touching her ash blonde hair gently. It was sad in knowing Second Wanda had gone through something so horrible, but at least she turned out okay. Wanda was now the bright and bubbly Third Wanda. Still Rose's best friend. "Come on; let's get her out of these clothes. They're really big on her. I don't think she needs blood all over her, either."

"Right," the Doctor replied, letting Rose take Third Wanda from his arms. The blonde girl of the newest incarnation of Wanda.

He watched as Rose and Jackie moved the girl to the back. Going to clean her up and get her dressed. He glanced down to see some blood on his pinstripe suit. Second Wanda's blood. He hurriedly went into the kitchen and grabbed a washrag, wiping away the blood. He wanted no traces of having to remember that. Not ever. Though, he was sure the memory of tonight would never truly go away. He would always be haunted in seeing how Second Wanda had suffered from whatever horrid injuries she had undergone.

Had he let that happen? Was he so useless he could not save his Wanda? No, no. He had to stop thinking like that. He had promised himself when he regenerated that he would not just think of one Wanda as his friend. They were all his friends. All Wandas were his Wanda. Just as she had always told him all Doctors were her Doctor. He knew of this. He was a Time Lord. He had to stop thinking like a human. Just because he was closer to one incarnation of Wanda did not mean she would still not be his wonderful friend. A friend . . . who was a really good kisser.

A strange shiver went through him in remembering how wonderful her lips felt against his. He wondered if Second Wanda's lips felt the same. Well, technically he had already kissed Second Wanda. But his mind had been so jumbled up he hardly remembered it. Perhaps, he should try it again? No! He did not need to think like that. They were all his friends. Friends . . . who happened to accidently kiss during each of their regenerations. That was normal. The mind was a little erratic during those early moments of a new incarnation. Kissing between friends was normal. Yep, completely normal. And that was what he was going to keep telling himself.

"Doctor, I think she wants you," Rose came into the kitchen, seeing how he gripped the washrag tightly and was staring distantly out the kitchen window. "She keeps trying to get up."

"Hmm? Oh, right, yes," the Doctor said lightly. Setting the washrag down, he walked to the back room. They had placed Wanda into Rose's bed, away from the room with the large blood stain and the wrecked wall and door from the killer Christmas tree. Wanda kept trying to get up, muttering sleepily about not being tired.

"Now, I think you need to sleep," Jackie told her firmly, pushing the girl right back into the bed. "You even said so yourself about the Doctor. When this thing, whatever it is, happens, then you both need to sleep."

"But I'm not," Wanda yawned loudly, "t-tired."

"You need rest, Wanda," the Doctor told her firmly, coming over to sit down next to her. The moment he was beside her, Wanda's hand latched onto his own. He stared down at their hands, his mind starting to finally get past losing Second Wanda and the kissing, beginning to wonder instead on what exactly happened for her regeneration. Why was it different? Why did she need his hand? Had something gone wrong?

"Ooh, Spaceman. I like your foxy face," she started to giggle. Her words were coming out slurred. He chuckled, knowing how she was still going through the regeneration process. One does feel rather drunk when they were still cooking with energy.

"Yes, I'm foxy. Now, go to sleep," he told her sternly.

"You're damn right you're foxy," Wanda giggled some more. Jackie snorted and shook her head. Patting the Doctor's shoulder, the mother walked out of the room to give the two Time Lords some space.

"Wanda, sleep. You need rest," the Doctor told Wanda again.

"But I don't want to," Wanda pouted. "I want to spend Christmas with you lot. I never got a chance to. I don't want to miss it this time around."

The Doctor winced as he thought on that. That's right. Second Wanda really wanted to spend Christmas with them. And now . . . she would never get that chance. Did she ever get a Christmas with any of them? With him? Well, things would change for certain. He would make sure that Third Wanda would receive as many Christmases filled with joy as she wanted. "We'll spend Christmas together once you wake up. How does that sound?"

"But it won't be Christmas, then. It'll be . . . not Christmas."

The Doctor sighed and shook his head. All right. As many Christmases as she wanted . . . after she got better. Starting tomorrow. "Does it really matter what day it is? As long as we're together for a nice meal, won't that still count as Christmas?"

Wanda sighed as well and closed her eyes. Sinking heavily into the bed she let herself relax. "I guess so. But I swear I'm getting a real Christmas with my family one of these days." She giggled again, squeezing his hand gently. "I'm so glad you're here. I was so afraid I'd never see you again."

The Doctor smiled, giving her own hand a light grasp. "I'm glad you're here, too. Now, sleep. We can spend Christmas together tomorrow."

"Okay." Wanda let go of his hand, yawning and rolling over on her side towards him. She cuddled into the pillow and snuggled it like a child would a stuffed animal. "Don't go outside. The snow will make you sad."

The Doctor raised a brow to this, but nodded all the same. He stood up, going to the door. He stopped short and his hearts beat rapidly at the next words which drifted from Wanda.

"I love you, Theta," she mumbled sleepily. The Doctor's hand gripped the door handle tightly. Turning quickly back to her to ask what she meant or if he heard her correctly, all he was greeted with was a sleeping Wanda. She breathed in and out evenly with some of her blonde hair castigating around her face. Some of it fluttered as she let out a breath. All he could do was stare at her and feel his hearts beating away with anxious joy.

Slowly, he walked over to her and gently pushed away her hair from her face. He let his hand linger on her soft cheek, thumbing it carefully. Kneeling down next to her, he leant forward. Hesitating for a moment, he finally gave in and kissed her forehead tenderly. Pulling back with a small red tint on his face, he stood back up. He then walked over and turned out the lights of the room.

"Goodnight, Wanderer," he said softly.

XxXxXxXx

Sorry for the rather short opening for part three. But don't worry, the chapters will be getting much longer as the story continues. :) I really hope that you liked it! Let me know what you all thought or felt about the new part of the trilogy within a review. It really helps see what everyone thinks about the story, helping to make certain it's perfect for everyone. ;) I hope you all have the most wonderful day! Until next time to everyone! You're all beautiful! :D

Reviewers:

Queen Paddie: Aww, thanks! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the ending. Hope you like the new part of the trilogy as well. ;) Thank you for the wonderful review! And for being an amazing reader. ;) Take care!

BlueFlame27: Glad you liked it. :) I was a little worried that the ending to part two might not be all that good as I felt I could have done better, but I'm just so happy that you enjoyed it in the end. :) I really hope that you liked the new part of the trilogy and Third Wanda. Also hope to see you again for the future! Take care! :D

grapejuice101: I'm glad that it was a unexpected ending for you. ;) I hope that you'll like the newest addition to the trilogy, as well as Third Wanda. And I hope to see you again soon! Until next time!

Guest(a): Yay! Glad you enjoyed the ending. :) I hope it was a nice surprise in seeing where Wanda ended up next. And that you enjoyed the new part of the trilogy. :)

Guest(b): Woot! I'm so happy that you liked it! :D Hope you will like the newest part of the trilogy. ;)

SilverMarkings: Glad you enjoyed it. :) Actual, when Eleven thought on saving her, he meant finally having a chance to help First Wanda regenerate. That he felt as though he failed to be there for her during his Tenth incarnation, and while during his Eleventh, he could finally save First Wanda. As we can see here, Second Wanda turned out just fine. Well . . . fine in regenerating, but close enough I guess. ;) Hope you enjoyed it and to see you again for the future. :)

Aka-Baka Hoshi: Well . . . something like that. Just another mystery waiting to be solved for later. ;) Yeah, I think the Doctor will definitely make it his goal to find Kovarian now and make her pay for that. Bad guys simply think they can get away with anything. Sometimes they do, but sometimes they never do. Hope that you'll like the new chapter. :) Until next time!

bored411: Yay! I'm so glad that you liked it. :) I really, really hope that you enjoyed the new part and Third Wanda. I'm also so happy that the story helped to give you great new ideas for your own brilliant stories, too. :) Take care! Until next time!

Falling Right Side-Up: Glad you liked it. :) Hope you enjoyed the new part as well. Until next time!

tangle of ivy: Oh no, don't be late for work! But, I'm so glad that the ending was so enjoyable. ;) I think we've all been looking forward to the wedding. So glad that it turned out all right in the end. For the most part. I thought Amy killing Kovarian in that moment truly was fitting. For more reasons than one. But that's a spoiler for another day. ;) As we've seen from the show, River knows that she can't mess with time. She has to let things be as they will for the Doctor's timeline. Just as the Doctor does with time for the rest of the universe. Mess with time, and you end up creating even more chaos. I think River truly wanted to tell Wanda, but in knowing that the Time Lady would be happy in the end kept River going in her secrets. Oh, trust me, you are definitely going to see much of Wanda and the Doctor being a huge couple, and much, much romance. I can't keep them apart, really. lol ;) Hope it wasn't too long of a wait for the new part. And that you enjoyed it as well. :) Take care! Hope to see you again soon!

LegandsOfTime: Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! :D

Justus80: I'm so happy that you enjoyed everything in the end. I'll definitely miss Second Wanda as well. But I do hope that you and everyone else will like Third Wanda. :) Hope that you enjoyed the new chapter, and to see you again for the future!

Nanski33: lol I hope I'm not killing you too much. ;) So glad that you liked it in the end! :D Hope you enjoyed the new chapter just as much, and to continue seeing you again in the future! Take care!

Jesuslovesmarina: lol Glad you enjoyed it so much. :) I really hope that you enjoyed the new chapter and new Wanda just as much. ;) Aww, really I can't thank you enough for being such a wonderful reader and always giving the story so much support and love. Thank you for everything you brilliant, amazing, wonderful person you. :) And Wanda was never an OC just for me. She is here to bring joy to everyone. And so am I. :) Hope to continue seeing you in the future, and that you'll love part three just as much as the rest. Until next time! Have the most marvelous day! :D

Dawn: Eh, I just feel as though I could have done better with the ending. But if you enjoyed it, that's all that matters in the end. :) Everything is all wrapped up and ready to start on Third Wanda's new journey. I hope that you liked the opening to part three so far and will continue to enjoy the rest to come. :) Until next time!

MKay: Thank you! :) I'm just so happy that you enjoyed it. I really hope that you'll enjoy Third Wanda just as much as Second Wanda. And I also hope to see you again in the future. Take care! :)

Guest(c): Yep, they're married. Well, technically only in another alternate reality, but I'm sure it still counts. ;) So glad you liked the ending, and that story continues to keep you hook and ready to read more. ;) I hope that you'll enjoy part three just as much as the rest of the trilogy. I also hope that you liked where Wanda ended up in this chapter. Kind of a surprise for everyone there. ;) Until next time!

CorinaL27: Glad you enjoyed it all around. They are totally cute together aren't they? ;) Hope you liked the new chapter to part three, and I hope that you'll continue to enjoy the rest. See you again in the future! :)

Whovianeverlark17: lol Glad you enjoyed it so much. ;) Hope that you'll like the new chapter and Third Wanda as well. Yep, finally together. About time I think. ;) Nah, you're awesome. :D And I'm definitely excited to see what you think of the new part of the trilogy, and Third Wanda. Again, hope you liked them both. :) Until next time!

CalicoKitty402: Nah, you're brilliant. ;) So glad that you enjoyed the ending. I really hope that you'll like the rest of the trilogy to come and Third Wanda as well. :) Hope to see you again soon, and have a amazing day. Take care!

bloodstainedhope: I'm happy that you enjoyed the ending. I'm just not happy with it because I feel as though it could have been better. Like something more was missing. But as long as it brought you and others joy, then that's all that matters. :) Aww, I'm so happy that the story brings such inspiration to you. I know that every time I see the story bring others joy, then I'm definitely inspired to bring even more to the trilogy. :D I hope you have a wonderful day as well! Take care and until next time! :)

shiboahyello: Yeah, I think the Doctor is there with you on that one. Kovarian will definitely found herself on the Doctor's bad end after that stunt. But luckily, Wanda did regenerate all fine in the end. At least now we've got Third Wanda. :) I hope you liked the new chapter and Third Wanda. Let me know if you did. And I also hope to see you again in the future, and that you'll have a amazing day! Take care! :)

Squidtastik: Glad that I can still throw in the unexpected every once and a while. ;) Hope you liked the big shock there, and enjoyed the newest chapter as well. Oh, and I also hope there was enjoyment in finally seeing Third Wanda. :) So glad that you're doing better! I completely understand on having bad days. I've been having those more and more recently myself. One of the reasons why it's been taking longer to post these chapters out. But I keep moving forward, knowing that I promised you guys the rest of this story. And I always keep my promises. I hope that things continue to go well for you. If you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to send me a PM. I'm here for you. :) Until next time, and have a fantastic day!

10th Squad 3rd Seat: Yay! Glad you enjoyed. ;) Hope you liked Third Wanda, and that you'll enjoy the rest to come! Until next time!

sydney33331: lol I'm guessing that means you enjoyed the ending. ;) I'm so glad that you did. Hope the crying was a good kind of cry. I also hope that you'll like the rest of the trilogy. Hope to see you again in the future! Take care! :)

Guest(d): Woot! Glad you enjoyed it. :) Hope you liked the new chapter, and will enjoy the rest in the future. Take care!

loveneverdies115: So glad that you enjoyed it! :D I really hope that you'll like the new part of the trilogy. And hope to see you again in the future! Until next time! :)

Lady Artimes Blaine: lol I am cruel at times, aren't I? ;) Hope that I'm not too cruel, though. And that you enjoyed the new chapter. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it made up for the cliffhanger from last time. :) Let me know if you enjoyed Third Wanda so far. I'd love to know what you think of her. :) Until next time!

alwaystherereading: I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much. :) It was about time the Doctor and Wanda got together, I think. And now, they'll be one happy couple. Or will they? ;) Time will tell. As for nanowrimo, I still feel as though I couldn't truly write anything good for it. But thanks for the offer to join in the challenge. Maybe I'll do it some time in the future. :) Hope to see you again soon! Take care!

Crystal12345: Yay! I'm happy that you enjoyed it so much. :) Yeah, you could say I just love leaving you guys on the edge. lol ;) Hope you enjoyed the new chapter, and to see you again in the future! :D

Blinked310: Thanks! Couldn't have made it here without you. ;) Yeah, definitely hard to get right. I felt like there was a lot more I could have done for Second Wanda, but . . . I just ran out of time and ideas really. Yes, finally. Only took them, what, seventy-five years? lol ;) Their relationship will definitely be taking a leap after that. You're right, not every death has to be dramatic. Sometimes, even for the Doctor, it's just a freak accident. I know for one incarnation, the Doctor simply fell off a high tower and had to regenerate. Nothing fancy. Just fell, done. Oh yes, very ominous. This is the part where things begin to change. And not in a very pleasant way, either. Be warned, for things may not always seem as happy and bright as they appear to be. For the darkness awaits. Hope that was a nice spoiler there. ;) Maybe not necessarily shouting at Nine. Perhaps more of . . . punching him. lol ;) There's a sneak peek for you. Hope to see you again in the next part! I hope you have a wonderful day, and stay brilliantly amazing! :D

Gladoo89: Yep, finally. About time they were married, I'd say. ;) And you'd be right about the regenerating. Wanda is always in good hands. :) Oh yes. Alpha. Let's just say, it's going to be . . . interesting when she finally shows up. Until next time! Hope to see you again in the future, and that you enjoyed the new chapter. :)

Guest(e): Aww, thank you. That means a lot. :) I'm just so happy that the story is bring you such joy. I hope the joy continues far into the future for the trilogy. Hope you enjoyed the newest chapter, too. :D

A Week Of Sundays: Oh, I think we're all happy for Wanda. :) It was never really her dream, just more of a small wanting or wish. But it's a wish that came true none the less. I hope you like Third Wanda and the rest of part three. Ah . . . no comment on little, ah, Wanderers. Yeah, I agree completely. I really felt as though it could have been better. But, for part two, it was the best way it could have ended. Now part three, on the other hand, that's where things get exciting. ;)

MyWaywardDaughter: So happy that you liked it. :) I agree, there really was no other way it could have been. But, still think it could have been better in some ways. Oh well. Let's just hope that this part will be fantastic. :) Hope you enjoy! Take care!

Arosen Time: lol I'm guessing you enjoyed how everything turned out? ;) Glad you liked the wanderfully ending. ;) Hope you enjoyed the new chapter, and to see you again soon. :)

Guest(f): Hello, and welcome to the story! (If I didn't already say that you to, that is) :D I'm so happy that the story has brought you so much joy. For that is my only true goal: Bring joy. Though, I hope you'll get more sleep in the future. I'd hate for you to get sick from lack of sleep. :( Glad you enjoyed the feels. ;) As for all the mysteries, they will all be revealed within this part of the trilogy for certain. But really good theories. I love them. :) Nah, thank you for being an amazing reader and leaving such wonderful review(s). :) Until next time!

wittendorffmaja: Yes, I'm sad and will miss her, too. :( Though, we did see a bit of Second Wanda here. . . Briefly. Anyways, I'm glad you are still enjoying everything so far. :) Aww, thank you. I'll make certain to keep reminding myself that. ;) Hope you liked Third Wanda, and will continue to enjoy her through the rest of the story. :) Until next time you magnificent reader! Farvel! :D

KeeperMusicNight: Hello, and welcome to the story! :D I'm so glad to see that you've been enjoying the trilogy so far. Glad it was a bit of the unexpected in the beginning. ;) And I don't take it the wrong way at all. I think we're all a bit wary when it comes to new books. That's why I give myself a rule to always give the book a chance to at least five chapters. I'm glad you found joy in the story to keep reading. I truly hope the joy continues throughout the rest to come. :) Oh, only about seventy-five years for them to get together. But, psh, who's counting. So, was this chapter a bit unexpected, too, on where you thought might have happened? ;) Aww, thank you so much. That means the world to me. :) I wish I can convey to you and all other readers on just how much each of you mean to me. You're all just . . . fantastic! :D Each one of you is what keeps me going in creating. For all I ever wish is to bring joy with my writing. And I really hope that I'm doing just that and succeeding. I hope that you enjoyed the newest chapter, and that I will get to see you again in the future. :) Take care, and have a wonderful day!

jb: Me too! :D Though, I'm mostly excited to see what everyone thinks of it. Hope you liked it. :)

Guest(g): lol I'm guessing you liked it? ;) Thank you so much! Hope you'll continue to enjoy. :)

Guest(h): Nope, Wanda is definitely not the Moment. But she is something . . . unique. Let's just say that and leave a spoiler for another day. ;)

Guest(i): Thanks! I couldn't have done it without you wonderful readers. :) Hope you enjoyed the new chapter!

vdwdtw0809: Woot! I'm so happy that you're liking the story. I hope you continue to enjoy the rest to come. :) Until next time!

Judoon Platoon: Well, no need to be frozen any longer. For now here's the next part, ready to take you onto the next adventure. ;)

Pond2: Yay! So glad you weren't disappointed and that it was good. :) Oh, I could never think to not response to everyone. For each one of you is truly amazing. Plus, each of you takes the time to not only read the story, but to review it as well. It's the least I can do to return the favor and show you all how much each of you means to me. :) Published? Nah, not for me. I don't think anything I write could ever be worthy of publishing. Nah, thank you for not giving up on me. ;) I hope you enjoyed comic con. :D That sounds totally awesome! Until next time! Take care!
