    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: Tasha please!

     

    Tasha reaches the door and begins opening it.  Syd catches up with Tasha, reaches above Tasha to close the door.  Tasha and Syd stand facing each other in the small hallway.

     

    SYDNEY: Tash, I understand that I disappointed you.  But you’re so angry•I don’t get it?

     

    Tasha faces Syd motionless for a second or two, then quickly reaches up and grasps both hands behind Syd’s neck and head.  Tasha draws Syd in and kisses her on the lips, first for an angry second, then more tenderly.  Tasha breaks the kiss and places her forehead against Syd’s tenderly•Tasha hands still clasped behind Syd’s neck and head.

     

    TASHA: (softly) Now do you get it Syd?

     

    Tasha backs away and breaks her embrace.

     

    TASHA: (more definitely) Now is the light bulb going on?

     

    Tasha turns and opens the door.  She does not look back at Syd.

     

    TASHA: (over her shoulder) It should’ve been me.

     

    Syd leans back against the hallway wall as the door closes behind Tasha.  Syd closes her eyes.

     

    BETTE: (speaking from across the room) Normally I’d say this is a bad time, but I think you could really use this.

     

    Syd opens her eyes to see Bette who has entered through another door.  Bette places an open bottle of win on the table, then retrieves two glasses from the sling that supports her right arm.

     

    SYDNEY: Did you catch all of that?

     

    Bette pours two glasses of wine as Syd walks towards her.

     

    BETTE: Just the dramatic conclusion. (They clink glasses and turn to sit in adjacent chairs)

     

    BETTE: (continues) And it was quite a finale.

     

    SYDNEY: I don’t know Bette, I’m just not used to all this drama•not equipped for it.

     

    BETTE: Sure you are•you’re a natural born lesbian•drama is part of the package•you just need practice.

     

    SYDNEY: No offense Bette, but since I’ve been hanging around you all I seem to get plenty of practice in the drama department.

     

    BETTE: (smiling) They say you are a reflection of the company that you keep.

     

    SYDNEY: You know Bette, I’ve spent my entire life in the company of straight people.  I knew who I was, Susan and I blended and mingled.

    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!
