    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

     

    INT. SYD’S HOUSE THE NEXT MORNING

     

    Tasha is sprawled out on the couch covered in a blanket, sleeping soundly.  Syd emerges from the bedroom•dressed in jeans and a sweater•and enters the kitchen to put on coffee.  Tasha stirs awake.

     

    SYDNEY: Good morning sleeping beauty•or should I say good afternoon?

     

    TASHA: (sleepily) What time is it?

     

    SYDNEY: About 12:30.

     

    TASHA: (jumping up) Jesus, I have a shift at 2:00.

     

    SYDNEY: Time for coffee?

     

    The doorbell rings, then the knob of the locked door turns a few times. Syd answers the door and Shane steps in.   Shane observes the remnants of the night before, including the blanket on the couch.  Shane looks at Tasha, confused.

     

    TASHA: I have to run to make my shift.

     

    Tasha leaves.

     

    SHANE: (to Syd) Did Tasha stay here last night?

     

    SYDNEY: Yeah, we ended up watching an old, silly holiday movie. (Syd pours herself some Diet Pepsi.) I was about to put some coffee on for Tasha, would you like some?

     

    SHANE: (ignoring the question) Did you two sleep together?

     

    Syd’s back is to Shane so Shane cannot Syd’s playful, yet devious, smile. 

     

    SYDNEY: How would you feel if I said yes?

     

    SHANE: (shuffling uncomfortably) I don’t know.

     

    Syd turns to face Shane.

     

    SYDNEY: Well, I’ll let you off the hook.  We fell asleep•on opposite ends of the couch.  So if that constitutes sleeping together, then we’re guilty as charged.  It was only for a few hours before I moved into my room.

     

    There is an awkward pause while Shane appears to process the information.

     

    SYDNEY:  Shane, why are you here?

     

    SHANE: (guiltily) I came to pick up a few things.  (Shane just notices Syd is wearing a heavy sweater) Why are you wearing that sweater?

     

    SYDNEY: I’m headed up to the lake house.  Thought I should get there a few days early to make sure everything is shoveled and prepared for New Year’s Eve.

     

    SHANE: I thought you were staying in L.A. for a few days?

     

    SYDNEY: (defiantly) I changed my mind.

     

    SHANE: Oh…

     

    They face each other awkwardly.  Syd tries to let Shane off the hook by retrieving a key from the kitchen drawer and handing it to Shane.

    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!
