3rd Person P.O.V
Gow just finished another mission and had a minor setback. She sighs to herself and hides herself in her room, locking the door and shoving her face in her pillow...

Existence Sonic was bored so he went over to Shadow's house, since Tails was busy. "Hey, Shadz." He greets, inviting himself in. Shadow rolls his eyes, not looking up at Sonic from the couch. "You know you're supposed to knock, right?" Sonic chuckles. "Then why'd ya give me a key?" Shadow scoffs. "For emergency purposes."
Sonic groans. "This IS an emergency. I'm BORED!" Shadow chuckles. "Boo-hoo, bother someone else." Sonic pouts and makes the 'hmp' sound, slumping down on the couch next to Shadow's feet. Sonic pushes Shadow's feet off the couch, making the ebony sit up next to him. "Jerk..." He mumbles, making Sonic snicker.
Then, out of nowhere, Sonic gets a call on his communicator. It's from Chaos. Sonic was confused, but answered it. "Hey, Sonic... Gow won't come out of her room." Sonic was confused and Shadow put his phone down to listen in. "What? Why?" Sonic asks.
Chaos sighs, "She won't say and she won't come out of her room." Shadow has an idea and then jumps in; "Can you go into her room and bring her to my house?" Chaos didn't expect to hear Shadow's voice over the communicator but agrees anyways. "Got it." He hangs up.

About 20 minutes later, Chaos teleports into Shadow's living room, restraining Gow with her hands behind her back. "She was REALLY RESISTANT so your plan better be WORTH it, Shadow!" He yells at Shadow as Gow pulls out of Chaos' grasp.
Gow growls at Chaos, making him gulp, knowing how powerful she is when she's angry. "Hold on, Gow!" Sonic stands up, putting his hands out in a defensive manner. "Calm down... please." He begs, and she reluctantly stops being hostile and crosses her arms with a 'hmph'.
Gow sighs. "Fine... sorry." Chaos nods. "It's alright, but just know, it was SHADOW'S idea, not mine." Shadow rolls his eyes and stands. "Well CHAOS told us you locked yourself in your room and we became concerned." He defends.
Sonic clears his throat, signaling them to stay on topic. "So... will you tell us what's wrong?" Sonic asks, gently grabbing Gow's hands and guiding her to sit on the couch between himself and Shadow. Chaos sitting on Shadow's left.
Gow sighs again, curling her legs into her chest and hugging them close. "It's just... I hate looking older than I actually am..." The boys all raise their eyebrow. "Is... that it?" Chaos asks with concern. Gow shakes her head. "No... it's these people from other dimensions... they think I'm of age and then they... they say things like-"
"See?! YOU get it! Why can't THEY?!" Gow holds back her tears, and hides her face in her knees. The boys all hug her. "It'll be ok, Gow..." Sonic comforts. "We're all here for you..." Chaos helps. "If you ever need to talk about anything at all that's bothering you, you can come to one of us, ok?" Shadow suggests. Gow sniffs and nods.
"Thanks, Guys... you're the best."
(Because I wanted to incorporate one of my edits in this, I decided to make this! A SMALL possibly relatable vent for girls out there! Even though at the moment I don't personally deal with this problem, many girls out there do. Gow included...)
