At The Ramen Noodle Bowling Alley, The Lititz Heights Haulers were having their bowling game with another school. Amongst the bowlers were Peter, Leah, and Issac. Tania was there too because the members were allowed to bring guests "I'm glad Issac is on the bowling team with me" Leah smiled.
"I need to stay in shape somehow," Issac replied as he kissed Leah.
Peter got jealous, "Well," Peter said, "I shred on a skateboard without a helmet."
"Peter" Tania interrupted, "You always have to wear a helmet when it comes to sports, it's part of safety.
"Tania is right" Leah replied, "Sports safety is important."
"Hey, McBruce" shouted a nasty voice, "Why don't you go bowl in a kitchen, and cook up a little Kirby troubles."
It was Billie and her posse, "What are you doing here, Billie" Leah asked in annoyance.
"If you Creeps must know" Billie replied, "Daddy wanted us to get a little exercise without our bi-weekly Zumba classes. He suggested we do his favorite sport, bowling."
"And my parents both work at a sporting goods shop" Miley replied, "Aren't you jealous of our expensive bowling shirts, from France."
"Not really" Tania replied, "It's nice that your parents are working at a sporting good store."
"No fair" Zara shouted, "You're suppose to be angry."
But Leah and Tania just ignored them and went back to their bowling. "They are right," Isla said, "Miley's parents worked so hard to earn those French bowling shirts. Luckily, my mom let me borrow hers for today."
"Your such a cheapskate, Billie insulted.
"It's called, loaning" shouted Isla.

A few seconds later, the bowling championship was about to begin. They were competing against Reechin Prep's Ready Freddy bowling team and their coach, "Rene Brew" who was an elderly man with old-timey bowling clothes.
During the championships, the Haulers somehow got their bowling wrong, even when Coach Brew keeps saying, "Winning Streak" which is kind of suspicious to Leah. The judges checked the score and declared the Ready Freddy team the winners. Leah was okay with the team doing their best, but then she saw a bowling ball stuck while coming out. After Issac and Peter both helped get Leah' bowling ball out, they saw that there were mechanical balls and not real balls, "Sounds your our of the league" Billie laughed as Miley and Zara joined in.
Isla on the other hand, felt sorry for them because they were bamboozled.
As the duo were outside the bowling alley. They saw Lorraine in her car, "Girls" she shouted, "It's almost time for dinner, I have some shrimp gumbo in the crockpot."
"Poyo, poyo(Yummy, gumbo)" Kirby smiled
Inside the car, they saw an elderly man and woman inside, "Grandma Clarice, Grandpa Wendell" Leah asked in horror, "What are you two doing here?"
"We came to visit you two" Grandma Clarice replied, "Technically, it was your grandpa's idea. We didn't drive all the way from Harrisburg to see you girls compete in that bowling championship."
"About that" Tania replied, "Someone rigged our balls."
"What" shouted Grandpa Wendell, "That's insane.
Before they were about to drive, Issac showed up and was pleased by meeting his girlfriend's grandparents, "These must be your grandparents" Issac replied, "It's nice to meet you two. I came to tell Tania that we've got a few suspects on who would rig the balls."
On the drive home, Leah looked through the list
Carole Whitton- Snack bar attendant who keeps lying down on the job
Rene Brew- He keeps saying "Winning Streak" every time the bowling balls go out of control.
Nic Barlow- Assistant manager at the bowling alley who's been having financial problems with the Ramen Noodle.

At home, Leah and Tania saw that there were two crockpots, wondering why are there two of them, "I made my special, cantaloupe gumbo." shouted Grandpa Wendell, "I knew how much you loved it as a child, Tania."
"Grandpa" Tania replied sadly, "This isn't a bad time to serve your cantaloupe gumbo. We use to make it all the time, I'd even taught you and Leah how to cook, bowl and do some decoding."
Just then, Rylie, Paige, Kaylin, Estrella, and Swinger came in, saying that they got their text about the championship. After getting Kaylin acquainted with Grandpa Wendell and Grandma Clarice, Kirby came in eating the cantaloupe gumbo. Grandpa Wendell got upset because he was up all night preparing that. Lorraine calmed him down saying that the crockpot he used was starting to get old and it was time he needed a new one. Unfortunately, Grandpa Wendell didn't listen, he wanted to help his granddaughters solve the mystery.
Grandma Clarice decided to shop online with Lorraine for a new crockpot while they figure out who's responsible for the rigged bowling balls.

By the Ramen Noodle, they saw Carole cleaning up the doors. Grandpa Wendell tried to interrogate her like Sam Spade, but Tania decided to do it like Sherlock Holmes. Carole explained that she worked there to pay off her college education and really wanted to work at a mattress warehouse, which explained why she sleeps all the time. Leah suggested that she should sign a letter of resignation and start working at Lamby Lad's Mattress and Sleeping Supplies store.
To repay them for giving her to confidence to achieve her dreams and controlling their grandpa, she let them in to solve the mystery.
Rylie suggested that they should go to the security room for answers. When they got there, it was locked. Paige remembered that Grandpa Wendell taught Tania and Leah how to decode. After a little decoding, they were in the security room. Kaylin and Paige decided to look for more clues while they were at it.
"Lucky for me I'm part of the Audio Visual Club, usually I run a camera," Tania replied as she zoomed the footage in to see, Rene Brew.
"What is the name of Sir Flinders Petrie is Rene doing?" shouted Wendell as the girls looked in shock.
Grandpa Wendell looked at his granddaughters, then their friends and Kirby, then he took a deep breath, "I was bowling partners with Rene Brew back in the early 60s. We both even came up with the name for the first bowling league in Lititz Heights High's history, "The Bullwinkle Bowlers."
"Bullwinkle," asked Paige as she and Kaylin came in, "As in the ditzy moose from that early 60s cartoon."
"Even though we were on the same team" Grandpa Wendell replied, "We both competed for everything back at LH High."
"You went to Lititz Heights High?" Kaylin asked,
"Sure" Grandpa Wendell replied, "I was the Wendell, The Winning Streak Bowler, McBruce." "
Kaylin told them that while they were surveying the footage, they found a trophy of Rene and Wendell's names together, figuring that they were connected. Outside, they heard a bang, "Darn these stupid bowling balls!"
By the bowling ball racks, they saw Rene rigging them, "It is you" Grandpa Wendell shouted, "My arch-rival from high school. Figuring you would come and steal my Clarice?"
"Why bother" shouted Rene, "You were always better than me."
They had to stop him fast. Paige got out Wendell's old crockpot and saying that feeding it to Kirby would be better than tossing it out. With a big gulp, he turned into, Cook Kirby.
He cooked up some nachos and tossed them into Rene's mouth. With a gulp, he started to crave for more. Kirby made enough nachos to keep Rene busy until the cops show up.

Later, Chief Hess and Deputy Downs were wondering how did the Klue Queens figure out it was Rene, "Our first clues was whenever Coach Brew says, "Winning Streak" the bowls went out of control." Leah explained, "Which is not only the code where the bowling balls get out of control in order to make us lose, but it was awful a painful reminder of his rivalry with our grandpa, right Tania."
"That's right" Tania replied as she adjusted her glasses, "And let's not forget the camera footage from the night before where we see Coach Brew going through the bowling balls."
"And the trophy with both Wendell and Rene's name on it" Paige recalled, "Figuring they both had a connection back in the early 60s. When The Haulers were The Bullwinkle Bowlers, after The Bullwinkle Show."
"You were always a better bowler than me." explained Rene to Wendell, "Every time I practiced, I never got better. When Clarice moved to Lititz Heights during our senior year in high school. I thought I would impress her with my tap dancing, but she was more interested in your bowling skills!"
Just then, Clarice and Lorraine came in, after getting Leah's call, "It was not only his good bowling skills that made me fall for Wendell" Clarice explained, "It was how he taught kids how to be better bowlers and better people."
"When I heard that the granddaughters of my rival were on the new bowling team," Rene finished, "I knew I had my revenge. Thanks to a little computer engineering I learned in the 80s, I rigged the balls and made you guys lose. Now give me more nachos."
"There won't be any nachos where you're going." Deputy Downs replied as he and Sheriff Hess took him away.

The next day, the school board gave The Haulers the trophy and apologized for the confusion. Also, they were thrilled to meet the legendary Winning Streak McBruce and they all got his autograph. This gave Nic a great chance to increase the income for The Ramen Noodle and he gets to be Reechin Prep's bowling coach. As they were enjoying themselves, Leah saw that something was wrong with Kirby, "Kirby" shouted Leah, "That's not a giant gumball, that's a bowling ball!"
But it was too late, Kirby ate the bowling ball and turned into a bowler, "Bowling Kirby." laughed Grandpa Wendell, "There's something you don't see every day."
The End.
