FADE IN
EXT. THE PLANET OUTDOOR PATIO: EVENING
SHANE lights a joint on the Planet’s patio. She inhales deeply, tilts her head back, and closes her eyes.
FLASHBACK: SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER
Shane is in bed naked, sheets covering below her waste. Dr. Sydney Livingston—an attractive, refined woman of Indian descent in her late forties—enters the bedroom carrying two glasses of champagne. Syd is dressed only in a loosely fitting robe, open in the front. As Syd sits on the bed she hands Shane a glass of champagne. Shane takes a sip of champagne—but the awkward angle causes her to spill the champagne onto her chest.
SHANE
Shit…
Shane instinctively reacts by stretching to place the champagne glass on the nightstand with one hand, the other hand moving to whip the spilled champagne from her breast. Syd quickly intercepts Shane’s hand and stops her from wiping the spilled champagne from Shane’s chest. Syd pins Shane’s hand to the pillow.
SYDNEY
(Smiling seductively)
I’ll clean that up.
Syd, maintains eye contact with Shane while placing both champagne glasses on the night stand. Syd, slowly drops her head to Shane’s breast, her tongue slowly licking the stream of errant champagne and circling Shane’s now erect nibble. Shane’s legs part in invitation and her neck arches in ecstasy as she and Syd begin making love.
END FLASHBACK
Shane exhales smoke from her joint as she leans backward, head tilted back, eyes closed as she stands on the Planet patio remembering the night with Syd.
ALICE
(O.S. to Shane)
There you are…
ALICE steps onto the patio. Shane quickly snuffs her joint and turns towards Alice, sliding the un-smoked stub discretely into her pocket. Alice sniffs the familiar odor but opts not to say anything.
ALICE
(cont.)
Our table is ready.
Shane and Alice walk into the Planet
INT. THE PLANET: CONTINUOUS
The planet is crowded. Alice and Shane make their way through the crowded dance floor. Shane is stopped by a woman she does not know, LYNN, a somewhat ditsy blond woman in her mid-twenties.
LYNN
(to Shane)
Hey, aren’t you the girl who was photographed in the paper a few weeks ago with Sydney Livingston?

ALEXMASOMG—this is a twist I did not anticipate. I too, read the lengthy “original” and enjoyed EVERY minute…especially toward the end. Just read a bit each day for several days. I never comment on stories but was tempted to do so on that one—although the others said it all (those comments were encouraging, thanks!). So as a first-time commenter I say “YES” to more as I am dying to know where Syd is taking us—sinner or saint? Looking forward to the Shane/Syd reunion—see Syd in September (or whenever the next “installment” arrives)—I anxiously await! (and for those who did not read the 6/26 original—treat yourself and catch-up before reading this shocker).
Syd had me at “hello” and I’m definitely not ready to say good-bye. Her maturity, activism and wisdom takes Shane, Helena, et al, into a new level. The messages and the issues tackled in the first posting made it amazing, this posting is intriguing. I look forward to future messages and meaning…keep it coming! Thanks.
I fell in love with Syd in the original but didn’t think I’d see the character again, thanks. Loved the new scene, even though there was only a glimpse of Syd physically, but lots of surprising new Syd info. The author may be getting this mystery woman out of her head but Syd is now firmly implanted in mine. I even re-read some of the original 6/26 scenes to refresh my memory (Syd’s “gun” conversation with Tasha at the clinic and the Lake House dialogues are my favorites), but I still did not see this coming. (P.S. Syd with Shane or Helena? Is it my imagination or do I see an affinity between Syd and Tasha?) Tell us more, tell us more :-)
