    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

     

    SYDNEY:  So you find ignoring me is some sort of sick revenge?

     

    HELENA:  Revenge is redemptive.

     

    SYDNEY:  Revenge is the poison for fools and madmen.

     

    Helena continues to move from machine to machine to avoid Syd.  Syd follows her.

     

    HELENA: Maybe I’m just ignoring you like you ignored me by meeting with my mother and cutting me out of the middle of our drug deal?  Didn’t you think I’d find out about your private meeting?  Or is it just your idea of screwing me twice?

     

    SYDNEY: It’s medicine not drugs, and your mother is only trying to protect you•and so am I.

     

    HELENA: I’m not a child!

     

    SYDNEY: Then stop acting like one.

     

    HELENA: (snidely) I’m just young, or don’t you remember what that was like?

     

    SYDNEY:  Age is not a license for immaturity.

     

    Syd reaches for Helena’s arm and guides her so her back is to the wall.  Helena continues to look away.

     

    SYDNEY: We need to talk about us.

     

    HELENA:  There is no us, Syd.  Isn’t that what your "Dear Joan" letter said?  There’s just a you and a me.

    SYDNEY:  We need to talk about what happened the night before the Habitat project, and the impact it had on our friendship.

     

    Helena finally turns to face Syd.  Their faces are close and Helena’s voice is extremely sarcastic and dripping with venom.

     

    HELENA: What happened was recreational sex•pure unadulterated, unromantic sex.   We fucked, Syd•and it fucked-up our friendship too. You were right•isn’t that what you want to hear•sex complicates everything! 

     

    SYDNEY: I don’t believe in recreational sex.

     

    HELENA: J(sarcastically)  Another generational gap.  Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist•isn’t that what you always said faith is all about?

     

    SYDNEY: (softly and sadly) I had faith in you.

     

    HELENA: (sarcastically) But not faithful to me.  I’m so sorry to disappoint you. (Helena turns mean) I explained it all to you in my response to your letter.

     

    SYDNEY:  I never received it.

     

    HELENA: (evilly) Well maybe that’s because I never mailed it.

     

    SYDNEY: (reprimanding) that’s very sophomoric of you. (regaining her composure). What about our friendship?

    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!
