So she ran off, and something happened?

This is really well-written, but I'm a bit confused by the ending.

Totally valid. I ended it there on purpose because the ending is shown already, but it’s also kinda open to interpretation, depending on whether you think the vision was literal and comes true or not. I personally like leaving stories with that sort of open endedness and I felt it appropriate for the specific tone and style of this one. It’s definitely gonna hit or miss with some people and that’s totally okay! I hope that, overall, you still enjoyed the story despite the ending not quite hitting

I did enjoy it. Your writing style alone is very enjoyable, and the characters are cute.

You say the ending is shown. Do you mean in another story, or the vision?

I'm mostly confused about what exactly happened to her in the vision. It's not very clear, unless I missed some obvious signs.

Yup! So my intentions/interpretation was that Treehugger was recently diagnosed with hemophilia, mentioned during dinner. It’s basically when your blood doesn’t clot right so you continue to bleed a lot even if it’s a small cut (well, slightly dramatized for this story but essentially). The idea is that, as Tree runs, because she is used to nature and softer dirt in general, the rough cobblestones cut her hooves open and she essentially bleeds out on the beach in Sunshower’s hooves.

It was kinda meant to be vague and alluded to, built through hints in the story
