A Noble Day
Twilight pouted as she sat beside Celestia. A small table had been quickly found for her, along with some crayons and some old parchment. Just a few minutes, then we’ll get back to our lessons my tail… Twilight glanced back up at the yellow-furred stallion who was still droning on just as he had been the last five times. Bored out of her mind, and out of equations and doodles to cover the page with, she began to take a small interest in what he was saying that was ruining her entire day.
“Now, Lord Golden Voice, as I’ve stated several times over, I took today off from court to spend with my student. I truly do not see exactly why it was so vital of a thing that I had to hear this request at this very moment. Would it not have been possible to simply wait a few more hours and bring this up at Night Court?” Celestia appeared to have a very tolerant look upon her muzzle, even if she was quite irritated to be interrupted for such a mild problem.
The unicorn stallion threw back his blue mane before flashing Celestia a winning smile. It was one that had made numerous mares throw themselves at him, ready to do anything he requested. In his eyes the Princess would be no exception. “I do apologize, Princess, but truly this is important. And truthfully, I always find Night court occurs far too late to be useful in any type of emergency such as this.”
Celestia quietly snorted to herself before taking a glance at the sun. She determined the time to be roughly Two PM. Twilight had been roused from her nap not long before this whole thing happened. “All right, I will listen to your emergency. But if you would be so kind as to be quick about it? I was not planning to have my dear student attend any type of court or meetings until she is a fair bit older.”
If anything, Golden Voice’s smile seemed to grow as he gave a small bow to acknowledge he understood. Internally, he thought of how to use this development to his advantage. So sure in his success he was, he failed to notice that the small foal who had been concentrating on her coloring had set down her crayons. Her ears perked up in attention.
“It is quite the sad tale my, beloved Princess. You see there is a park near my home in Upper Canterlot where much of my neighbors take their foals to run around and play. At least they once did. Over the past few years it seems as if this small park has been forgotten! The grass grows long and unruly. Playground equipment is either rusting, or breaking apart. And the paths! One of my friend’s colts was sent to the doctor after getting a stone stuck in his frog! Poor thing was unable to even walk until it was removed. All I wish to do is repair this park for the behalf of the local families to have some place to go.”
Celestia nodded. She opened her mouth to grant the rather understandable and reasonable request when she felt Twilight’s tiny hoof on her leg. She looked down to see her small student looking up at Lord Golden Voice with a frown, her ears pinned back and tail flicking. Celestia cocked her head. It was very obvious that something was causing great annoyance and possibly anger to the filly. “Twilight Sparkle, what is it?”
“A park in Upper Canterlot where lots of foals go to run around. That is what he said isn’t it?” Twilight asked without even glancing up at Celestia, who nodded. Twilight took a step towards the noble who took a step back, a single sweat drop running down his forehead.
“A park with path ways and swings and a slide and the best dandelions to munch if you are hungry and your BBBFF forgot to pack lunch and had to run back?” Twilight took another step forward. This time Golden Voice was unable to stop the trembling in his legs as he saw the bits he planned to pocket fly out of his saddle bags.
“A park that the bestest foal sitter ever took me to the day before I got my cutie mark? Is that the park you are talking about?” Somehow Golden Voice had found himself pressed against the wall as Twilight kept advancing closer.
Finally, he gave a small nod “I… y-yes I do believe that is the one.”
Twilight nodded firmly “Well that park is just fine.” She then turned and walked back to her little table. The heavy aura which had surrounded the filly dissipated quickly as she sat back down. She picked her pink crayon back up with her mouth, returning to her picture of Cadance.
Celestia blinked, then cleared her throat. “Well then, seeing as you were...” She considered, then sighed,“ mistaken, I’m afraid I will be denying your request and ending this emergency hearing. Come along, Twilight Sparkle. We’ll go get Spike from his nanny, and go to the park. It’ll be good for you both to run around.”
Twilight looked up and beamed. “Really? Yay!” With that she followed Celestia out of the throne room, leaving Golden Voice, who would be unable to move for five minutes as he tried to figure exactly what type of beast this Twilight Sparkle truly was.
“She can’t be a normal pony, no way…”

No, you idiot. She's not. Quite excellent, Foals. Go, Twilight!
I'm well aware that this Twilight is far from normal. But now I'm going to be left wondering what she is exactly. Is her hidden potential nature exerting itself and he found himself in the presence of an annoyed alicorn? Or was it the shear overwhelming magic prowess of "I can pull your soul from your body and nail it to my wall." he felt?
One day, in the far future, Lord Golden Voice would attend to the fourth' princess coronation and know that he was right.
NEED MOAR!!!!!! PLEASE ME NEED MORE TINY TWILIGHT!!!!!!

Very nice! And I can see why this chapter has to predate Luna's return...and you might want to add an Author's Note stating that.

Ahhh ok that alright
Ah, the logic of children is fun to observe, especially when it somehow manages to invalidate arguments and complaints of adults.

Golden Voice wanted to steal the funds for repairing the park. Twilight realized which park he was talking about and revealed the lie. Celestia was wanting to get this meeting over with and wouldn’t check in on it. Now she will be seeing the park for herself and Golden Voice is about to loose a lot of stock with Celestia.
Whelp, he's in for a surprise.
I am now formally requesting that Golden Voice one day met Luna (just let me get my popcorn ready
)

a simple scam, you take more money then needed for a project, do what you said you'd do, then pocket the left over money.
Voice said he'd fix the park cause its gone to crap (a lie cause its a fine park). claim an amount of money needed (more then is actually needed, cause again, its a fine park). pocket the extra money from the park remodel cause he didn't actually use it.
i can see such scams working in our world best in tax fraud. you claim used $600,000 for public service thing when only $400,000 was used.
USA government being kinda crap would see the claim, see some shity receipt for it, be like "oh what good guy" and send bigger tax refund cause you claim charity stuff or something

Here's some popcorn for you.
8846280 Oh god, this goes on PERPETUALLY here in NJ. It's why we pay so much in taxes and everything still looks like crap.
But they sometimes make it 'legal' with 'consultant fees' and 'impact studies' and all sorts of other things they pay friends and relatives hundreds to thousands of dollars an hour for.
But only sometimes. Other times the money just up and vanishes.

“This visit is merely a devious scheme devised, deviously, to have Twilight Sparkle, if that is her real name, ascend over us and rule with an IRON HOOF!”
Lord Trottingham, we’ve spoken about this before…
Personally I’d swat him for claiming it’s an emergency even before further details came to light. It’s already 2 pm, there literally would be no chance of the work beginning that day at this point anyway.

? Silly pony, everyone knows the nobility is allergic to such things 
. Heck if the nobility had to stop and use common sense, they wouldn't be able to hire ponies to polish their solid gold toilets, and renovate their million bit yachts.
Is that common sense I hear
Nope, not at all
