    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: I’ve been angry a really long time•it’s exhausting.

     

    SUSAN:  Don’ let anger consume your last days.

     

    SYDNEY:  Why do you think they’re my last days?

     

    SUSAN: Why do you think they’re not?  Do you think I thought those angry words would be the last words I would ever say to you? (tenderly) Make the most of each moment , Syd.  That is the single most important lesson of my life.

     

    SYDNEY:  It should’ve been me taking that bullet.

     

    SUSAN:  It wasn’t your time to die.  But now you have to figure out how to live.  You don’t beat the Grim Reaper by living longer.   You beat him by living well.

     

    They make love.  Susan’s body glistens with passionate perspiration as they begin to climax.  Then suddenly Susan transforms into the figure and face of Tasha.

     

    SYDNEY: Sue? Tasha?

     

    Susan is standing against the wall. Syd looks around Tasha’s body to see Susan  laughing•mockingly and evil.  Then her expression turns sad and somber.

     

    SUSAN: It’s time for me to go, Syd•and time for you to let me go.  Goodbye Syd …forgive me…

     

    SYDNEY: (protesting) Never say good-bye….(her voice trails off)

     

    INT. LAKEHOUSE DEN – NEW YEAR’S EVE – CONTINUOUS

     

    Syd is sleeping upright in a chair front of the fire.  Tasha is gently shaking Syd awake. Syd awakes startled, dazed and confused. She looks around sleepily as if searching for someone.

     

    TASHA: You nodded off. That was one heck of a dream you were having.  You mumbled my name and Sue’s.  What were you dreaming?  Com’on doc, I tell you mine….

     

    SYDNEY: (sleepily avoiding the question) I remember the intensity, not the details.  What time is it?

     

    TASHA:  About 8:00.  Angelica’s in bed and we’re starting to get ready for dinner. (she notices the knickknack on the table and picks it up) This is beautiful.  Where did it come from?

     

    Sydney stares at the knickknack as if  in shock.

     

    SYDNEY: Susan and I purchased that many, many years ago.

     

    Tasha notices the sadness in Syd’s face.

     

    TASHA:  You must have loved Susan very much.

     

    SYDNEY:  (sadly) I have no clear memory of being in love with Susan.  Thinking of those days is like watching an old movie.

    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!
