I did have what I think was a very small migraine last night. Amazingly, though, it didn’t keep me up all night! I took some ginger ale and that seemed to do the trick! I can’t tell you how surprised I was to actually wake up and known that I had gotten some sleep. Mom is starting to think my diet is weighing in on my migraine - these last three

RD is a jock who doesn't want to be seen as an "egghead" pony who reads. She probably figures that she has a reputation to maintain,is what I think.

What bothers me is, reputation as in regards to who? It's obvious her friends would have accepted it, and she never says something like 'everypony will think I'm an egghead'. I know I'm probably being very petty here, but when it comes to being teased about reading, it hits a sore spot.

Thing is, Rainbow Dash is the "jock" character, which implies that she'd be more image-oriented, albeit in a different way, than even Rarity. She needs to be popular, or else what point is there in being good at something? And Dash is probably the pony in the group MOST likely to know people outside of the show focus, aside from possibly Pinkie Pie. Rarity's too heavily focused with her work to get out much, Fluttershy and Twilight are social pariahs, and AJ is a family girl through and through.

So, yeah, I can't argue the possibility that Dash believes she has some sort of "cred" to uphold.

I just wish she had at least said it would affect her image outside of the group. Even if it was something silly like 'scootaloo will never look up to me now' or something equally ridiculous. But as I said before, I am being incredibly petty with this.
