    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: And just for the record. (Syd gently places a quick kiss on Bette’s forehead.) I’d flirt back (smiles coyly) innocently, of course.

    Bette’s face is serious as she watches Syd leave the room through the reflection of the mirror.

     

    INT.  CHATEAU DINING ROOM – AN HOUR LATER

     

    Shane, Bette, Max, Syd, Tina, Kit, Alice and Tasha are having dinner.  They are laughing, talking and enjoying a culinary feast.  Shane is concluding a story.  Everyone is laughing•slightly buzzed form the wine.

     

    MAX : (to Shane)Surely you’re kidding?

     

    ALICE:  Shane has never been one to let a little thing like accuracy interfere with a good story!

     

    SYDNEY: Mark Twaine once said that the only difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs to be credible.

     

    SHANE: I swear on my family it’s true.

     

    ALICE: Well that isn’t saying much…we’re your only really family.

     

    SHANE: (a bit tipsy) True, then I swear on all of you and all I hold dear and holy.

     

    TINA: (laughing) No offense Shane but I’m not certain that gives you much credibility.

     

    SHANE: (smiling) No offense taken.

     

    MAX: But really, what is a family?  (he turns his attention to Syd). What was it you once said about Susan and her family?  They were biological acquaintances who spent holidays together?

     

    TASHA:  I’m one of 6 kids.  My sister is the oldest and I’m the youngest•we’re bookends for 4 brothers in-between.

     

    ALICE: That‘s a hell of a lot testosterone in one house!

     

    TASHA: And my sister is a real sister.

     

    ALICE: (kidding) As compared to what a fake sister?

     

    TASHA: (pretty buzzed)  I mean she’s a nun.

     

    TINA:  Really? That’s admirable.

     

    TASHA:  Not really•she has major tolerance issues•especially with people like us.

     

    SYDNEY:  Becoming a nun doesn’t make you a saint.

     

    TASHA:  Just like becoming a doctor doesn’t make you a healer.

     

    Syd winches a bit at the dig.  Tasha  is obviously uncomfortable around Syd.

     

    MAX:  How about you Syd?  What’s your family like? 

     

    SYDNEY:  I’m the middle child of three girls.  But I haven’t spoken with my sisters in over ten years.

     

    TINA:  How can you not speak to your blood relatives for a decade?  I’m not being judgmental•just curious?

    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!
