Erza-Scarlet-of-Fairy-tail: Yeah! I think if this were to really happen, Lucy and Erza would defiantly support Natsu no matter what.

"Hey daddy, why are you crying?" We see a 5 year old Natsu, walking down the stairs in his red and black dragon pajamas. He wore a white, scaled scarf that he received for his birthday last month and dragged a red stuffed dragon toy with him. Igneel turned his head, whipping his tears and smiling at Natsu.
"Naysu, what are you doing up so late? It's almost midnight." The boy just rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"I couldn't sleep cuz of the scary storm!" Natsu had tears in his eyes and ran to his father, burying his face in his dads chest. Igneel had tears in his eyes as he pat his sons head, but for a different reason.
"Shhh, Natsu, it will be alright, the storm will p-pass." He chocked on his last words, trying not to sob. Natsu looked up at his dad and knew something was wrong, his dad never cried, ever! He steeped back from his dad and looked at him.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Then he looked around and realized something. "Daddy, where's mommy?" Igneel now had tears streaming down his face.
"N-Natsu, mommy isn't coming home..." Natsu looked in horror at his father, dropped his toy and had tears in his eyes.
"W-why n-not?" Igneel didn't want to say it but he couldn't lie to his son, he had to tell him.
"M-Mommy's," he took a deep breath, he had to be strong for his son. "Mommy's d-dead, Natsu." He had tears streaming down his face now and he looked at his son. At first Natsu didn't believe him, 'Mommy can't be, she promised we would go to the festival next week!' Natsu looked at his father and saw he was serious, and he just broke down. Natsu fell to his knees, tears pouring down his face.
"Mommy!" He screamed over and over again, like she would come back if he called her. He felt his dad hugging him but he continued to scream for his mother. Igneels heart broke for the second time that day from his sons reaction, but just hugged Natsu close with tears streaming down his face.
After a few hours Natsu calmed down enough to ask his father. His father explain that she was murdered, a few people from the darkness jumped her, and killed her in cold blood. 'Why would they kill mommy, she never did anything bad!'
"Natsu!"
Natsu woke up from his dream in a cold. 'Damn dream!' He often had nightmares about the day his mother died and it was always the same one, and always woke up every time he heard the scream of his mother. Natsu still remembered that day, and his dreams made sure he wouldn't forget it either. From that from that day Natsu would never trust a person of darkness and now every time a thunderstorm came, Natsu relived the pain and fear he felt that night.
For a year Natsu kept to himself, he just went to school and went home, rarely talking to anyone except for Happy and his father. But next year when he opened up, he met his best friends Erza and Loke, and then Lucy came into the picture two years later. He never remembered telling them about his mother but they knew and were always watching out for him. Except for his friends, his dad and Happy, Natsu didn't really trust anyone else. 'Until Gray' His thoughts reminded him. For some strange reason Natsu trusted Gray the moment he saw him, which was strange to him. It usually took him years to really trust someone, yet he trusted Gray after bumping into him and arguing with him. 'My minds really screw up' he thought. Natsu checked the clock to see he had an hour before school started, so he got and started to get ready.
"So what do you think Lucy?" Natsu just explained to Lucy the whole Gray, light and dark thing and her needed her help.
"Hmmm, I've never heard of anything like that. Did he act any different when he was in the light?" Natsu thought back then shook his head.
"No, he was the same bastard as he was in the dark." He said with a grin on his face.
"Now that's really weird. Well theres only one thing to do, go to the library!" Lucy shouted, stars in her eyes.
"The library? How's that going to help?" Lucy sweat dropped.
"Natsu, the library might have some information on this, have you even been to a library?" He looked offended.
"Of course I have, I followed you here before, remember?"
"How could I forget, you almost set it on fire and almost got us banned..." Lucy muttered.
"Anyway we can go after school today. Maybe we can figure something out."
Natsu nodded and the two of them parted for their first class.
After school they both met up and entered the library. It was huge, as big as three, two story houses put together. There were endless rows of books and tables with few people seated around. There were two stories to the library, and there was even a sliding-ladder-thingy. Natsu had a look of awe on his face and Lucy casually greeted the Librarian.
"This place is awesome!" Natsu shouted only to be 'shhhhed' by ten different people. He glared at everyone of them then turned to Lucy, "Where do we start?" Lucy thought for a moment then pointed to the second story.
"Probably around the 'dark history' section." Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and raced up the flight of swirly stairs. Lucy smiled at his eagerness, Natsu may have not realized it but every time he talks about this Gray, a smile always appears on his face. 'He really must like this guy' and Lucy couldn't be happier for her friend, but at the moment they need information on him.
As soon as they reached the section, Lucy started handing Natsu books that could be useful. After about twenty books, Natsu staggered to a table and they started to search. After a few hours they started giving up.
"Not only do these not have the answer, they barely have anything on dark mages except for common knowledge!" Natsu nodded in agreement and started to think.
"Well, if a light library has little information then maybe were going about this the wrong way?" Lucy started at Natsu in disbelief, not only what he suggested was crazy, he also had a brilliant thought.
"Man, who knew all that reading would make you smart?"
"Lucy~!" He whined. Lucy just snickered, "Just teasing, anyway Naysu, you don't mean...?"
"Yup!" Natsu grinned, "We need to sneak into a dark library!"
"You're crazy! We couldn't even- how would we even survive in the darkness enough to find information on this?" Natsu grinned again.
"My dad still has some old light charms and we could bring a few flashlights as well." Lucy started at Natsu.
"You're going to get us killed," she muttered. "But I'm not letting you do this alone, fine, I'll go." She sighed. "When are we going to do this?"
"Tomorrow!" Naysu grinned. "Since tomorrow's the last day before the weekend, we can stay out as long as it takes! Plus it'll give me time to pack all my spy gear."
"Spy gear?" Lucy asked, eyebrow raised.
"Yup! Our flashlights, rope, the charms and I gotta find a dark cape..." Then he started muttering about the possibility of an invasion. Lucy sighed again.
"You really are hopeless..." Ignoring her, Natsu grinned.
"Tomorrow after school we'll go to my house since I have all the gear we need and Igneel's gonna be gone till the weekend." Lucy nodded, "It'll give me time to write my will." The two talked a little longer before leaving for their homes.
School flew by the next day for both of them, and it really hit Lucy hard when she was at Natsu's home.
"I cant believe I'm going to do this." She muttered.
"Come on Luce, this is gonna be fun! We're gonna be like spies! Or ninjas~!" Natsu said while taking out their 'gear'. Lucy looked over the stuff Natsu had set out. He had two black capes, two light charms, four flashlights, two pairs of gloves and two belts that had built in pouches for who knew what. Lucy picket up a belt and opened a pouch to see a powder.
"Natsu what's this?" She asked pointing at the powder.
"Well the purple one is sleeping powder, and the red one is itching powder, cool huh?" Lucy looked shocked then carefully closed the pouch and put it back on the belt.
"Natsu, where did you get all this stuff?"
"I got it last year from the old guy that lived across the street, he was moving and gave me this stuff. I have a ton more in my closet." He smirked, "I can be a real ninja if I wanted to." Lucy sighed and put on her 'gear'.
The two finished and Lucy looked in the mirror. She wore a black long sleeve, black leggings, black boots, the belt she had was black but her gloves and light charm were pink. Natsu wore a similar outfit with a black T-shirt, loose black pants, which were held up by the belt, black sneakers, and had his gloves and light charm red. Both finished off their looks with the long black capes.
"I feel like we're going to rob a bank or something." Natsu snickered at her, "Maybe next time." He said as he put on his backpack.
"Mission 'Dark Secrets' is a go!"
Tali: I was acually going to continue this but I spent most of my day drawing Gratsu and two of them look okay-ish~! I'm so happy! :D and I finally explain Natsu's moms death. I cried while writing it, I mean who wouldn't cry if they saw a cute, adorable Natsu crying for his mommy? I don't think anyone wouldn't.
Happy: Aye?
Tali: Not you silly neko! Oh yeah, question for you guys:
If you could be any animal or half animal, what would you be?
I would be a dragon so I would have a tail, scales, wings and breathe an element! (Not just fire silly people, we have iron dragons and light dragons, etc.)
Happy: I would be a cat!
Tali: You already are one!
Happy: Aye! I'm I just that good! Please review for me, and I guess her too.
Tali: Yay! Sleep~!
