    Author Notes:

    The “Holidays” continues the story of the refined and rebellious Dr. Sydney Livingston•passionate about her causes, love and life. In this segment, the serious Syd deals with the dual loss of her career and her mysterious long-time partner. It is a time of uncertainty as Syd pursues uncharted romance waters, and a time to discover a fresh identity in the world of her new L-Word friends

     

    Tasha snuggles against Syd and they spoon for warmth as Syd cradles Tasha protectively.

     

    EXT. HABITAT SITE – VERY EARLY THE NEXT MORNING

     

    Alice is skipping from the house to Tasha’s and Syd’s tent.  She has a thermos of hot chocolate in one hand and three mugs in the other.  Alice juggles the items as she zips down the opening to Tasha’s and Syd’s tent.

     

    ALICE: Morning!  Hot chocolate for the ….

     

    INT. HABITAT TENT CONTINUOIS

     

    Alice stops mid-sentence as she sees Syd spooned around the sleeping Tasha.  Syd and Tasha begin to stir

     

    ALICE: (confused and very angry) What the fuck are you doing spooning my lover?

     

    SYDNEY: (sleepily) It’s not what you think.

     

    ALICE: The fuck it isn’t!

     

    Alice retreats back to the house.

     

    TASHA: Shit!

     

    Tasha struggles to free herself from the sleeping bag, pulls on her sneakers and leaves the tent to run after Alice.

     

    EXT. HABITATE – SEVERAL MINUTES LATER

     

    Syd is outside beginning to take down the tent.  Max approaches her.

     

    MAX: Need some help?

     

    SYDNEY: That’d be great, thanks.

     

    Max and Syd work together to take down the tent.

     

    MAX: (probing and concerned) Everything OK?

     

    SYDNEY: Yeah, just a little misunderstanding.

     

    MAX: Uh, huh.

     

    Sydney changes the subject.

     

    SYDNEY: Max, do you ever get lonely?  Feel like odd man out?

     

    MAX: Sure, sometimes, why do you ask?

     

    SYDNEY:  I was thinking about the foreman•and I know he meant well•first took care of all the straight couples, then the "girls" and you were automatically going to be a tent person•no choice what-so-ever.

     

    MAX :Yeah I know•but I’m used to being odd-man out.  I’ve been that way my entire life.

     

    They are working closely together to fold the tent.

     

    SYDNEY: I can’t tell you how much I admire your courage and conviction, Max.  You are so comfortable with who you are and what you want.

     

    MAX: (flattered) Thanks…but so are you, all you’ve accomplished.

     

    SYDNEY:  It’s not the same.

     

    Syd places her hand on Max’s arm and looks him in the eye sincerely.

     

    SYDNEY: You have a very special kind of courage Max.  I admire that.  Perhaps because I am such a coward when it comes to facing the reality of who I am

    1. I saw this pop up early in the week but waited to read it over the weekend. I wasn’t disappointed. I love this character’s maturity and passion for what she believes in. I relate to her wisdom yet insecurity–I mean, who hasn’t messed a bed to pretend it was slept in? I’ve read all the Syd stories (even re-read portions of the original re: the wonderful relationship conversation with Tasha and the revealing fireplace sceen). “Holidays” shows Syd’s vulnerable side. She’s still grounded, but unfocused and searching. Nicely written–it was a pleasant New Year’s surprise–thanks!
