Ace's Gambit (Drabble Project, Day 231)
Aug. 18th, 2012 12:35 amDoctor Who, Ace, all ages, not mine. Ace won't let anything stop her -- even the time lock.
Ace curled her fingers around her TARDIS's materialization lever again, tighter this time, as if she could force it to work by sheer force of will. "One more time," she said, and pressed her free hand against the console. "Come on, you can do it."
And then she pulled the lever.
For a moment, she thought she would be immediately bounced back into the time lock, or worse. But then she felt the universe shift into solidity around her.
She let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding, and opened the door to the TARDIS.
She was back.
