Go and get your girlfriends because chapter 8 is ready for now.

Soon Gabe got to the elevator and Ralph the elevator man greeted him

Ralph: Hey how goes it Mr. Gabe?

Gabe: Pretty fine Ralph.

Ralph: How's it coming along with that placekicking?

Gabe: Placekicking? I'm actually more into karate these days.

Ralph: Karate?

Gabe: Yeah.

Ralph: You've got to watch this show Extreme Karate with this guy Micah Kaden.

Gabe: Micah?

Ralph: Micah Kaden. Oh!

Gabe: Micah Kaden.

Ralph: Yeah.

Gabe: All right cool. I'll check it out.

As soon as Gabe went into the elevator with Ralph a woman named Lina came running by.

Lina: Hold the door please.

Ralph: Oh sure. No problem Lina. That's what i'm from here for right?

As the elevator closed Gabe knew Lina is an adult with blonde hair and he also knew she was too old for him because his real girl is Rosemary Telesco an 11 year old girl who he really likes and Ralph stared at Lina as if he himself had a crush on her just as Gabe had. Soon the elevator stopped and Lina got out.

Lina: Thank you so much Ralph.

Ralph: Thank you.

Lina: Sure.

Ralph: New au pair in 3-G. She's from Stockholm.

Gabe: Gotcha.

Meanwhile at Mr. Peabody's apartment Sherman was in his room talking to Penny on his phone and talked about the difference of their friends lives.

Sherman: So I talked to Gabe on his phone and he said a woman named Lina is from Stockholm. Remember we went back in time to witness the time it was made back in 1252 by Birger Jarl?

Penny: Yeah and he was dressed up as a Christian and we had to dress up like those guys. But I still don't get it when Mr. Peabody explained about this hundred kronor.

Sherman: Yes. I also don't get it either. I wonder how Gabe is doing with his Karate skills? Maybe he's getting better.

Penny: Well maybe he is or maybe he is not. Also on Sunday afternoon my parents have this special lunch planned with their friends who will be attending the wedding. So I might come over to your place if that's all right with you.

Sherman: Well Mr. Peabody has more errands to run so I guess I might be going to Gabe's apartment to see him do karate with Rosemary. I think you should come as well.

Penny: Well all right. I'll tell my dad about this tomorrow morning. So I guess I'll see ya on Sunday.

Sherman: Yeah I look forward to that. I'll see you on Sunday as well.

Back at Gabe's apartment he was watching Extreme Karate. He was watching Micah Kaden in action. He did karate moves while his parents watched him with blank stares on their faces.

Gabe: Ki-yah! Ohh Hi-yah! Hy-yai! Oka-yah!

Later Gabe went into his mom's bedroom.

Gabe: Hey Mom?

Leslie: Hey.

Gabe: I was thinking I kind of need a haircut.

Leslie: A haircut?

Gabe: Yeah.

Leslie: Okay I'll do it in the morning.

But Gabe actually didn't like that idea his mom has given him every haircut he had because she did not learn a thing or two over the years. And she was not a professional.

Gabe: Actually I was you know kind of thinking maybe we could go out for one.

Leslie: Out?

Gabe: Yeah you know like to a barbershop.

Leslie: You mean pay for it?

Gabe: Well not an expensive one.

Leslie: Don't be ridiculous honey. I can cut your hair.

Gabe was so disappointed and aggressive. So he asked his dad.

Gabe: Hey Dad. I really think it's time that Mom stops cutting my hair. Don't you?

His dad agreed with him. So the next day was Sunday. And Gabe was getting a haircut at a real barbershop.

Barber: Think about Giambi. I just don't trust that dumb guy.

The barber was cutting Gabe's hair just the way he wanted. And Gabe was getting excited.

Gabe: Hey could you take it a little higher over the ears please?

Barber: Oh sure no problem at all.

Finally the barber was all done.

Barber: Voila!

Gabe looked wonderful with his new haircut. It was the best twelve dollars he ever spent. He was smoking hot. Later Gabe played basketball with Max Sam and Jacob. But Gabe didn't want to get covered with his friends hands to mess up his hair.

Sam: What the heck?

Max: Hey man.

Jacob: It's a legitimate foul.

Gabe: Dude you just totally hacked me. No. Look I don't need you losers.

And he walked away and headed for home so he can get ready for his big karate practice.
