The Boomerang
A Doctor Who Fanfiction
By raston-warrior-robot
Chapter 11
The Doctor was tinkering about with the TARDIS controls when Amy came in.
"Doctor, I found th-" The redhead, having only recently woken up, focused her groggy eyes on the Time Lord, whose hair was wild and whose face was covered in oil and grease. "Have you been here all night?"
"Maybe, I don't know." The Doctor didn't seem very interested in his friend. "Didn't you say you were going to bed?"
"I did. I've been in bed all night. You've just been here all this time working." She held up an object in her hands. "Anyways, I found this in my room. You should take a break." Amy laid it on the ground next to the preoccupied Doctor, and walked away.
About an hour later, the Doctor decided he would take a snack break. He stood up and began walking to the kitchen, and only then did he see the boomerang sitting on the floor. His face lit up in an expression of childlike joy as he picked it up. Holding the boomerang by one end, he almost sprinted over to the doors. He opened up the doors to reveal the Time Vortex swirling around.
There was a brief moment of concentration as the Doctor raised his arm with the boomerang in hand.
Then, he brought down his arm with as much strength as he could muster, releasing the boomerang at exactly the right moment. He watched it spin away into the vortex, eagerly waiting for it to come back. It didn't. Instead, it continued to fly further and futher away, eventually disappering completely.
The Doctor's face sunk. What a waste of a perfectly good toy.
Oh well, he thought to himself as he closed the doors and started off towards the kitchen. It might come back, some way or another.
