At the Harold G. History Museum, a group of senior tourists was going around the Japanese exhibit. One of the seniors found a strange-looking ball with a button on it. As the senior pressed the button, it went off in a smelly fog. Everyone slowly ran away from the stench.

The next day outside a Greenburg Hotel in Susquehanna, Kirby and the Hayatos were getting Ridego lift to the Harold G. Museum. "Dad," asked Peter, "why are we here in Susquehanna again?"

"The museum is having new artifacts from Japan, and I'm dying to see them for myself," explained Mr. Hayato.

"Boring!" shouted Peter.

"Peter," Mrs. Hayato said as she controlled Koharu, "this is traditional."

"It's nothing compared to life in Lititz Heights nor Oregon," Peter recalled. "We used to go to those museums there, and they always have comic book heroes come."

"The use those to attract kids," Paige replied, "just so they make learning fun."

Paige turned her head to see Kirby sleeping without his seatbelt. Paige knew that road safety was important, so she buckled him up.

Outside the museum, they saw a Scottish man with a fashion mixture of karate ghee and a Scottish kilt. Peter was surprised by the look of the Scotsman's face. "That's "Maurice McDaniel," Peter recalled, "the famous martial arts instructor from Scotland."

"Is that the guy who does karate Viewtube tutorials, you say?" asked Paige.

"Yeah," Peter replied. "And I need to see him up close."

As Maurice was about to do a karate kick, Peter shouted, "Dude, I'm, like, a total fan!"

This made Maurice lose balance and fall down. "Really," Maurice said, "I'm glad to see a huge fan like yourself."

"I know all your moves from the Bagpipe Punch," Peter exclaimed, "to the Loch Ness Leg Kick!"

"Dad!" shouted a handsome man with blue eyes and nerdy apparel. "Are you okay? Remember what the doctor said about your bottom."

Peter and Paige were confused. "That's just my son Lucca," explained Maurice. "He never ever participates in any of my classes."

Lucca became annoyed with his father's obsession with karate. "Every year for Halloween," he replied, "you always dress up as a ninja. Couldn't you try something less karate-ish?"

"No way," replied Maurice. "It teaches you self-defense."

"Sometimes," Lucca replied, "dancing can be a self-defense too. This is why I became a choreographer for a children's theater."

"Then you never should've dated that American girl you met in college," snapped Maurice.

"We were both dressed as vampires when we met at that costume party," Lucca replied. "The country I went to rarely celebrated Halloween."

Both Paige and Peter were surprised by the father-son argument. For Peter, this felt like something between him and his dad when it came to his filthy habits. Usually he sneezed on toilet paper, spit on the floor, cleaned his ears with forks, and burped in public.

Inside the museum, they saw a Japanese museum dealer. He had a sharp suit and a samurai ponytail. "My son can be a bit disgusting sometimes."

"Speaking of being disgusting," Mrs. Hayato said as she smelled something through her nose, "do you smell something? It couldn't be Koharu. I just changed her diaper."

"Stinky path," Koharu said as she pointed to the direction of the smell.

While Kirby and the Hayatos went left, Mr. Tsunoda went right, which made Paige feel suspicious.

By the time they got to the Japanese exhibit, they saw a Friendly Scout troop rushing out in horror due to the terrible smell. The only one enjoying it was Peter. "What is going on here?" asked Mr. Hayato.

"That was the fifth stink bomb attack we had this week," said an elderly man. "Forgive me. I'm Marshall Pawlitzki, the curator of the museum."

"What's going on here?" Paige asked. "Why is everyone running away from the Japanese exhibit? Our dad has been looking forward to seeing this for months."

"Ever since we got the treasure from Suiagete Empire," Pawlitzki explained, "stink bombs came out and started scaring everyone away. The only clue I could find was this stink bomb recipe. I found a few people who would be responsible for the stink bomb attacks."

After Pawlitzki got out his list of suspects, Peter grabbed it. "Let me read it," he replied. "I know filth."

Suspects

Maurice McDaniel - Very serious about karate.

Lucca McDaniel - Barely gets along with his father.

Mr. Tsunoda - He turned the other direction when following the smell.

As they were walking around the Native-American exhibit, Peter and Paige saw Lucca going around the museum. Peter started walking backward. "Why are you walking backward?" Paige asked.

"It gives the element of surprise," Peter answered as he walked back towards the exit.

Paige and Kirby knew that Peter would get in trouble again, so they had no choice but to follow Peter, who followed Lucca, who went into the medieval wing. In the room, they saw thousands of Scottish weapons and artifacts. Before Peter had a chance to attack Lucca, Paige stopped him and wondered what why Lucca was in the wing. Lucca explained to the twins that he was observing his ancestors' artifacts. Mr. Pawlitzki got his dad's permission to put his family's artifacts on display.

"Don't you ever get along with your father?" asked Lucca.

"Sometimes," Peter said. "Usually I would make a mess at Roadhouse Fantasia. Ms. McBruce is in charge until we get back to Lititz Heights."

The words of "Ms. McBruce" struck Lucca, so he left. Before he could leave, he told them that he'd been seeing a mysterious samurai with a bunch of moving boxes. Paige and Peter remembered seeing neighborhood safety PSAs on Facetube, so they decided to check it out for themselves.

By the garages, Paige, Peter, and Kirby saw a black truck with a badly written mover sign. That was when they knew that the movers were fake. In the corner, Paige, Peter, and Kirby saw the masked samurai working on a stink bomb. Paige suddenly got an idea on how to take him down. "I need to borrow your beanie," she offered as Peter took off his beanie.

"Good thing I washed it for you," Peter said. "Dad didn't want me to get headlice in it again."

"We wouldn't," Paige replied as she placed her long black hair in the beanie, "which is a good thing I found that organic shampoo that gets rid of lice." She only stuck her head out. "I'm Peter Hayato," she said while deepening her voice. "I'm a dirty skateboarder who's madly in love with Leah McBruce."

Peter was annoyed by Paige mimicking him but was happy that they were catching the culprit to the smuggling scheme. The samurai followed Paige down the Japanese exhibit. "Do the Bagpipe Punch and the Loch Ness Leg Kick!" shouted Paige.

Peter did what he had to do in order to stop the samurai smuggler and his gang. With a kick and a punch, he stopped the fake movers and rush to the elevator while carrying Kirby. The masked samurai knew where they were heading, so he cut the air vent and headed straight up. By the time they got to the Japanese wing, the samurai came out.

At the bench, Paige saw that someone left behind a bunch of fish and chips. "Kirby," she shouted, "suck it up!"

With one gulp of the fish and chips, Kirby became Beam Kirby. He disintegrated the samurai sword that the samurai had and his mask, revealing to be Mr. Tsunoda. "Mr. Tsunoda," Paige said. "We might've guessed."

"You tattletale twins aren't telling anyone about my smuggling plans," replied Mr. Tsunoda, "not even your pink rat."

Kirby was so hurt inside, he cuddled Paige.

Then Peter remembered passing the Native-American exhibit while solving the mystery. Peter also remembered a rat summoning a Native-American song that Isla's grandmother taught her and thought that he could do it. He did a karate chop of the glass containing the drums and got out two drums. "Peter," Paige angrily said as she rushed up to him, "there's a saying: 'You broke it, you buy it'."

"I know, Paige," Peter said to his twin sister. "But this is an emergency."

"We don't have a choice," Paige said as she grabbed a drum.

They both started to play the rat-enchanting song that Peter learned from Isla. This attracted a swarm of rats from beneath. "I'm deathly afraid of rats!" exclaimed Mr. Tsunoda fearfully said as he fell down.

Paige, Peter, and Kirby gave each other high fives for their achievement.

Later at the main entrance, the police cuffed Mr. Tsunoda for smuggling artifacts. One officer asked, "How did you figure out that Mr. Tsunoda was responsible for the stink bombs?"

"Simple," Paige explained. "We first suspected when Mr. Tsunoda turned the other way when we followed the smell, a sign that he was aware of the stink bombs. Our second clue is a little note we found in Japanese; it was a recipe on how to make stink bombs. And then we found a bunch of black vans disguise as moving trucks, meaning they had something to do with smuggling. The stink bombs were just a distraction so he could steal the artifacts."

"I've spent years searching for the treasures of the Suiagete Empire," explained Mr. Tsunoda. "After I found out it was going to be displayed in America, I was furious. I was going to sell them at the market, and I would've made millions if it weren't for you meddling twins and your alien."

"Has anyone seen my fish and chips?" asked Mr. Hayato as he came in. "I wanted to see how many artifacts were stolen. Afterward, I must've left them there while avoiding the smell."

"It's a good thing you left them, dear," Mrs. Hayato replied. "No one wants smelly fish and chips."

Later at the hotel, Mrs. Hayato was rocking Koharu to sleep. "Hyobe," she said, "have you seen the twins?"

"They said they're going to the pool to cool off," Mr. Hayato answered. "For once I'm proud of Peter for stopping Mr. Tsunoda for smuggling artifacts with that rat-enchanting music.

At the pool, Paige and Peter were cooling off in celebration. "We did it, sis," Peter said. "We stopped Mr. Tsunoda and saved the museum."

Just then, Maurice and Lucca came in to congratulate them for solving the mystery and using Maurice's two famous karate moves. "It was Paige's idea that I use those karate moves," explained Peter. "Siblings help each other."

"No problem," Maurice replied. "After what you did, I suddenly remembered Lucca being in a drum circle when he was a wee lad."

"And you've come to all of my drum circle recitals," replied Lucca. "And for old times' sake, let's go to the nearest O'Mickey's and share kids' meals."

"Like old times," Maurice replied. "Your mother wouldn't let me have kids' meals so we wouldn't be laughed at, but at 76 a lad like me should always be a kid at heart."

As the Hayato twins got out of the pool, the saw a group of Japanese tourists who were in Susquehanna for their Pennsylvania tour. Paige decided to welcome them with a little disco dancing. Kirby then joined in from the hot tub and bounced up and down.

The End.
