Line 988:
** Despite being a baby(By Dragon standards), Spike has shown to be on a mental level equal to the mane cast(young adults) and has shown enough resolve, cunning and level head to be able to take care of himself. Furthermore, Twilight knows how strong and durable Spike is. It's much more likely for her to get hurt than him.
*** Equestrian society seems to support young children being allowed to explore on their own at a level more comparable to 1950s society than modern Earth -- we see the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who seem to be schoolchildren-equivalents, out on their own pretty often -- and in turn the Palace Grounds are probably more like a second home to Spike than a dangerous and unknown place.
*** There's also that Equestrian dragons are ''pretty much unkillable''. Spike can be dropped into an erupting volcano and not feel so much as a sunburn, and has scales so hard that he literally doesn't feel it when he's stabbed with sharp metal objects. Pretty much the only things inside the Canterlot city limits that has any hope of seriously injuring him are Celestia and Luna themselves.
*** Also, the palace grounds and city of Canterlot are hardly 'a place Spike is unfamiliar with' - before moving to Ponyville with Twilight, Spike had spent literally his entire life living there.
 
* So, given that the Wonderbolts were apparently finished with their show by the time they arrived at the party, does that mean the girls not only arrived too late for Rainbow Dash to try to crash their performance, but to even ''see'' it? You'd expect her to complain about that.
