True, true. But it seems I can't stop doing it, every once in a while.

I didn't know twilight was afraid of fire.

Of course she is! Fire destroys books!

Lets be honest here. Would you be scared if your house was on fire? Of course you would.

What if the books Twilight was trying to save were about Dragons and their immunity to fire?
(also I like the idea of Spike in a baby-chair)

So it's like she's saving her research, and then doing MORE research by exposing Spike to specific stimuli so that she could record the results later! Brilliant!

You know, I think Discord hesitated when he addressed Spike being "trapped". He knew that Spike was imune to fire too.
Still though... Damn Twilight, Damn!

What? He's immune to fire, so what's the big deal?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At the seminal moment of her decision Twilight forgot that fact. So she, in a sense, is willing to let Spike die for her research documents.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did she forgot that fact? O_o
Seems unlikely, to me.
But well. All in all, it could be she forgot, indeed.

Hahahahahah so funny XD Thanks for made my day!

Wow really?
She would leave her best friend in the flames?
I mean dragon are immune to fire,but dont leave him in there..come on.
Love the Comic!

I'll be honest, if all my backups of all my composed music was in a blaze, and I had to choose years of music or my mother, well, I would choose my music.

Actually, this situation, as simplified as that, would never happen. So the whole question is bunk.

She does have a point, so can have both. If he can swim in lava, fire is nothing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Here's the thing, though; Spike doesn't have to die. He just has to be emotionally hurt enough by Twilight prioritizing her books over him to not want to be her assistant anymore. Then Twilight would not have both
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Hurt enough? How would he be hurt? He's immune to fire and he fully knows it, right? So he could wait for his turn, while trying to put out the fire.
Come to think of it, dragons would make great team members for fire departments.

If Twilight decides to choose saving books before Spike, it's a sign that she considers books to be more important than Spike. If a close friend of yours decided that a collection of books meant more to him than you, wouldn't you feel a little insulted?
Here's another thing: have you ever been inside a building that's on fire and could possibly collapse at any moment? With no way for you to get out? I am pretty sure it is not a pleasant situation. And Spike is still just a child; even with fire immunity, he would still probably be scared out of his mind. Being a dragon may make you immune to fire but it doesn't make you immune to fear itself. Imagine Twilight scrambling to save some books and scrolls over Spike's panicked yells and wails. That's still pretty cold, even with fire immunity.
And as others have pointed out before me, Spike can still be harmed by the building collapsing down upon him. Spike could still die by being buried by debris and suffocating

"And Spike is still just a child; even with fire immunity, he would still probably be scared out of his mind."
Cold? Fear of the fire? Even though Spike casually swam in a volcano's lava lake, without a trace of fear?
I don't think so.
Besides, even as a kid, Spike is more than old and mature enough to know that if he swims in lava, he has nothing to fear from a house fire that has just started.
And if the fire has just started, there are no risk (at least, not yet) of falling debris or collapsing of the building.
Now, how long would it take before the structural integrity of the building is compromised?
I'm not sure. Probably not long enough to save the whole library, since the entire building is a tree.
Really, the Equestrian national and local authorities should put much more effort in fire prevention and rescue services.

"And if the fire has just started, there are no risk (at least, not yet) of falling debris or collapsing of the building"
The thing is, we don't know if the fire had just started. We only know that the the library is currently on fire, not how much time has passed since the fire started. So there's still the possibility of Spike getting buried under debris and suffocating. And, that being said, there's still a reason for Spike to be scared and go panicking. As well, Discord has made it clear that Twilight only has time to save one item. So I think the implication of what will happen to the item or dragon she didn't save is pretty clear.
I'd like to re-emphasize my original point as well: Even if Spike doesn't perish in the burning library, if he ends up feeling betrayed or emotionally hurt by Twilight's decision to the point where he doesn't want to be with Twilight anymore, Twilight will still lose Spike. Look at Spike's reaction in the comic. It doesn't look like Spike is happy with Twilight's choice. And if this is his reaction to Twilight hypothesizing, how well do you think he'll take it if Twilight acted upon this decision in reality?

I know. Spike could say he could have died in there.
As another commenter wrote, better not over-analize a comic too much.
Though, I wonder what was Dissie's great idea behind this. :-P
Why did he do that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
But if she saved Spike she would tell him he have to rewrite all the List, and all the Research over again then he relized she should have picked the research.
Spike should think who does most of all the writing for Twilight.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yes, and admittedly, rewriting all that research would be tedious and take a quite a long time. But at least it could be done. How's Twilight going to deal with Spike's loss?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Honestly, Twilight's got a point. Spike could have just ran through the flames.

Wow Twilight...you seem to really care, even if he is fire proof. What if he was a pony!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What if he was a pony? But, here's the point. He's not.
He's a dragon. A totally fire-immune dragon.

Daddy Discord?
Sorry, I don't buy it

Easy. Save the phone. Call the fire department. Save everything else.

I was about to post comment about dragons being immunite to fire, but I see Twilight already beat me to it.

To quote Scout...
"Un-freakin'-believable!"

Don't be such a baby Spike. You know fire can't even hurt you, you can swim in Lava for Christ sake.

Wow, so salt, very spike, much burn.

... Oh Twilight... You have a lot to learn...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
She can stop time or teleport both stuff out of the fire. Come on, use that egghead for once in a while...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Is this a prequel to "Best Baby Dragon?" That would explain Spike's mood.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
well, Twilight DOES have a point. I mean, Spike's lava-proof, so...
But still, not cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Good icon, by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How come, "not cool"? He's fire-resistant, for Faust's Sake. :-P
So unless the whole tree-house is crumbling down, Spike can wait. And make himself usefull by trying to put out the fire, rather than freaking out in front of a element he's totally immune to, anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
agreed, but still, it just comes down to morals, I guess. Even with the fireproof excuse, the point is still that she chose her books instead of her son
