Take a third option:

>I will never leave you, Rainbow Dash (Unlocks the happy ending)

You win some times, you lose other times.
I'd never leave my friends just for failing. Myself I am loyal to those I hold dear.
Pick yourself up and try again as they say.
That's what the element of loyalty is all about.
Music video related of loyalty.

Always keep determination and passion to fulfill your goals, one door may close but then another opens.
I would never leave Rainbow Dash in the dust as a friend. For one, her personality is inspiring to better myself. Patience is a virtue, and has proved to be a great lesson to reap what you sow..
Such as having long and great friendships no matter the distance between you and your friends.
They may be on the opposite side of the country, but the bonds between remain.

I just felt like typing this up upon seeing the image in response, share some inspiration I have learned from.
