Pronouns: She/they

Fav song from the 2000's: Dirty Little Secret (Released 2005)

What were they doing/where were they when they first heard it:
As Katcha's eyes drifted up, they locked with Arina's. The way she looked at her.. it made her feel so warm, so safe. A gentle smile greeted her gaze as well as arms softly draped around her, pulling her into a light hug. Dirty Little Secret began to play in the background, along with the clamor of the party.

"Wont you be my dirty little secret?" Arina asked quietly with a chuckle, then leaned down toward Katcha, the doe-eyed girl before her. She couldn't reply, the breath being knocked out of her as they kissed. Everything felt so unmistakably right, nothing could convince her that this wasn't where she was meant to be in this exact moment.


Why does it mean so much to them:
It was the first day she realized she wasn't straight, and that there was something more to her identity. She finally knew what felt wrong. Arina was one of the higher-class girls at school that just wanted to experiment and nothing more, which Katcha was fine with at the moment since that's what she wanted as well. The girl was too uppity for her anyway, but she awakened the feelings within her, which she couldn't thank her enough for.

As this song played, they kissed under the stairs, allowing the barriers in her mind to melt away as she realized who she really was. She remained Arina's dirty little secret for three months before Arina cut it off. Katcha was devastated, as she had started to fall for her.

As her heart recovered, she listened to the song on repeat, before deciding that her sexuality wasn't a 'dirty little secret' anymore. The next day, she told her mother exactly how she felt and was thankfully welcomed with open arms and no judgment.

She now has a girlfriend, named Arcana, whom she loves with all of her heart, and would never do anything to hurt her, and knows Arcana feels the same. Katcha feels as if she has this song, as well as Arina, to thank. It taught her to love freely and to live her truth.

Fav song from the 2000's: fly me to the moon
What were they doing/where were they when they first heard it:
Erik put on a suit and tie, as he buttoned up his suit, Leo smiled at him and cleared his throat. “Are you ready?” he asked, speaking over the light music of the radio. Erik nodded, “As ready as I’ll ever be.” he whispered. Leo came closer, “Your going to be fine, your family loves you as you, and no one else; and so do I.” they both smiled. Leo turned up the radio as ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ came on. “You’ll be able to hear the calming music when you speak to your parents.” Leo said, as he started to drag Erik out the door, meeting his parents right outside. “Uh?” Erik paused, as Leo gave him a small thumbs-up. He cleared his throat, “Mom, dad, I have something to tell you.” he said, his voice cracked. He breathed in, and filled his ears with music, he opened his mouth to talk but his mother interrupted him. “We know your gay, Erik.” his mother’s voice soothed. “Oh? Okay, cool!” his voice full of excitement. His parents closed the door and the two boys jumped up and down. “You did it! I’m so proud of you!” Leo said, as they hugged. They danced to the music as it came to an end they shared their first kiss.
Why does it mean so much to them:
The music calmed Erik down just enough to gain courage to tell his parents he was gay. Despite his plans being ruined, Erik believes that the love of the music helped him, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to do it. Aswell as the first kiss. Leo

Fav song from the 2000's: I Remember - Deadmau5 & Kaskade (2008)
What were they doing/where were they when they first heard it:
It was the first time he'd be going to a rave and he was both excited and nervous. Mostly nervous. A couple of kids from his class had invited him, despite barely even knowing him. He was happy that they had expressed interest in hanging out with him, but he still worried that by the end of the night they might not feel the same way.
Even before entering the nightclub he could hear the bumping of the music. It was a fast beat, and at times it matched the swift beating of his own heart. He followed his friends inside and was greeted by a multitude of neon, flashing lights as well as a huge mass of bodies jumping and swaying to the music. The sight was overwhelming, but in a good way. He felt as though he'd finally found somewhere he truly belonged.
The rest of the night was filled with dancing with his new friends, who seemed to genuinely enjoy his presence. And while he heard many great songs that night, the one that stuck out to him the most was "I Remember".
Why does it mean so much to them:
The moment he first heard the song, he immediately loved it. The vocals and synths were beautiful, in an almost ethereal way. When dancing to it, he felt as though he could float away on a cloud.
As the years passed, he of course found other songs he would consider his "favorites" for a time. Unlike many of those songs, however, his love for this one never faded. Growing older only made the song more nostalgic for him. To Xavier, this song was a symbol for the moment he came to discover who he was and who he wanted to be. For the longest time, he had been rather shy and introverted but that night at his first rave ever, with friends he would make and keep for life, was the night that would show him that he could be way more than he ever thought he could. And true to the song's title, that night would be one he would always remember.

Fav song from the 2000's: "Lady Marmalade" from Moulin Rouge https://youtu.be/RQa7SvVCdZk
What were they doing/where were they when they first heard it: They were seeing the movie at the theatre with a group of friends!
Why does it mean so much to them: It reminds her of that fun time, but more importantly, each time she sings it she finds she feels empowered, in control, and wanting to show off and have some fun. Its a mood lifter, and she will ALWAYS dance when she hears it and maybe floof up her fur a bit more to boot.
