One Tuesday afternoon, the boy's were in school, and Mrs. Douglas was at home doing laundry. Someone knocked on the door and came inside.
,, Who is it? '' Mrs. Douglas asked.
,, It's me. '' Grandpa came into the kitchen.
,, Hey Dad. What brings you here? ''
,, May I use your cell phone, or phone house? My line at the cabin didn't work and I need to make some calls today. ''
,, Sure go ahead. ''
Grandpa went up to the phone house that hung on the wall.
,, Who do you wanna call? '' Mrs. Douglas asked as she put a few fold clothes into the basket.
,, Few home town people from Japan. '' Grandpa answered as he dialed a phone number in. Few seconds later, Grandpa talked to someone on the phone in a jap language.
Mrs. Douglas could only understand a few words. But wasn't really sure, what Grandpa meant. She started to wonder, what Grandpa was up to.
,, Hai. Arigato. Soredewa o ai shimashou. '' Grandpa ended the call, saying ' Okay. Thanks. See you then '.
,, What are you up to? '' Mrs. Douglas wondered.
,, Don't tell Sam yet. But I'm setting up a competition at my cabin on Sunday. '' Grandpa begin dialing another phone number.
,, What kind of competition? '' Mrs. Douglas asked.
,, Ninja. '' Grandpa smiled.
Mrs. Douglas raised her eyebrows ,, Oh. ''
Grandpa nodded. Then he started talking to someone on the phone in a Japanese language again.
Few seconds later, Grandpa ended the call ,, Where are the boy's? ''
,, They're still in school. But they'll be back soon. '' Mrs. Douglas answered.
Grandpa said nothing but dialed another number in.
,, How many do you have to call? '' Mrs. Douglas took the laundry basket from the table.
,, Enough. That enough people can come. '' Grandpa chuckled.
Mrs. Douglas smiled. She walked out of the kitchen and head to go upstairs. Grandpa started talking on the phone again.
The front door opened.
,, We're home! '' Rocky said.
,, Be prepared. Because I'm gonna tell Mom. '' Tumtum got inside at last and closed the door behind him.
,, Go ahead. I ain't afraid of you anyway. '' Colt said throwing his backpack onto the living room sofa.
,, But you're afraid of Mom. '' Tumtum smirked.
Colt scoffed ,, Am not. ''
,, You guy's. Shhh. Grandpa's here. Talking on the phone with someone. '' Rocky stopped Colt and Tumtum from arguing.
Colt raised his eyebrows. He and Tumtum followed Rocky into the kitchen.
Grandpa ended his phone call.
,, Hey Grandpa! '' Tumtum smiled.
,, Oh hey boy's! Home already? '' Grandpa smiled back.
,, Yeah. Emily gave us a ride home. '' Rocky said walking up to the fridge.
,, Rocky loves Emily. '' Colt whispered. Tumtum giggled.
,, I heard that. '' Rocky said as he looked into the fridge.
,, We know. '' Colt nodded.
Rocky shook his head and grabbed himself a soda out.
,, What are you doing here Grandpa? '' Tumtum asked as he took a seat at the table.
,, Oh, making some phone calls from Japan for you. '' Grandpa smiled and dialed another number in.
,, For us? '' Colt asked.
Grandpa nodded. Then he started talking in a Japanese language again.
The boy's looked at each other in a confusing face.
,, Rocky. Do you know what Grandpa is saying? '' Tumtum whispered.
,, Shhh. '' Rocky shook his head.
Grandpa talked about a minute on the phone, then he ended it.
,, Who was that? '' Rocky asked.
,, Why were you talking in Japanese? '' Tumtum wondered.
,, And, you were doing that for us? '' Colt added.
Grandpa chuckled ,, Alright Boy's. I think I'll tell you since you kept asking. ''
The boy's waited for Grandpa to continue.
,, I'm calling one of my best friends from my old school in Japan, to come here and visit us. Because, I'm setting up a Ninja Fighting competition at my cabin, this Sunday! '' Grandpa said.
,, What? ''
,, Really? ''
,, No way! ''
Grandpa chuckled.
,, That's awesome! Say, do we get to wear our own uniform? '' Colts excitement lighten.
,, Yes. But we're gonna have tryouts this Thursday, before Sunday for the competition. Just for a little warm up.'' Grandpa claimed.
,, Wow. I can't wait. This is going to be lit! '' Rocky smiled at his brothers.
,, What do the winner's get? '' Tumtum asked.
,, Oh that's something the Judges have to decide themselves. '' Grandpa answered.
,, Judges are going to be there? '' Rocky questioned.
,, Yes. One of the best in town in Japan I know is out there. And besides, I'm calling them right away. I almost forgot about it. '' Grandpa took the phone and dialed a phone number in.
,, Guy's. This is so cool. '' Colt mentioned at his brother's.
,, Yeah. We actually should start practicing against each other today. '' Rocky replied.
,, Whoa... Not so fast boy's. '' Mrs. Douglas came into the kitchen from upstairs.
,, Oh hey mom. '' Rocky greeted.
,, Hey. '' Colt added.
,, What do you mean ' Not so fast ' ?'' Tumtum wondered.
,, Well, you may do whatever your Grandfather is going to plan. But you still have to focus on school. Especially you, Colt. You have an upcoming test this week at math. And I want you to study every night before going to bed. '' Mrs. Douglas looked at Colt.
Colt rolled his eyes ,, Yes mom. Like always. ''
,, Don't worry Mom. We will. '' Rocky nodded.
,, Yeah. '' Tumtum agreed.
Colt also agreed and nodded.
,, Okay. Good. '' Mrs. Douglas turned to go back into the laundry room.
,, When can we tell Dad? '' Colt stopped his mother.
Mrs. Douglas turned ,, Well, I think it's best if either your Grandfather or I would tell him. Because I do know already what he's gonna think and say so... '' Mrs. Douglas thought deeply.
The 3 brother's nodded.
,, We know Mom. '' Rocky said.
Grandpa ended his phone call with the judges back in Japan.
,, You done inviting people? '' Mrs. Douglas tried her best not to chuckle.
,, Well, I only now invited the teams and groups to come for the competition, and now I have a few more to go to come and watch. '' Grandpa looked over his list of people and phone numbers. Then he took the phone again and continued dialing.
The boy's started to wondered how many people Grandpa was going to invite.
Mrs. Douglas shook her head and smiled ,, Anyways. Boy's. Go upstairs and do your homework, if you have, while I'll make something for you boy's to eat. ''
The boy's turned and headed to go upstairs. Mrs. Douglas went to the kitchen cabinet and took some ingredients out and a pan, to make a snack for the boy's.

In Japan at the school where Grandpa went when he was young, student's were making themselves ready and packing their bag's to come to America.
This is going to be a great one. Rocky, Colt and Tumtum are going to fight against Japanese Ninjas.
They were all taught a few lessons different. There were 5 teams from the school that was coming. And each team were in their own colors. Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. And including White. But the white team was the one where Rocky, Colt and Tumtum were in.
But what about Rocky, Colt and Tumtum? They weren't making ready? Mrs. Douglas wanted them to do their homework every day after school. So how can they be ready? There were only 2 days left until Thursday for tryouts, and then another few days until the competition.
So each team from the Ninja fighting school in Japan got everything ready. They all headed out to the airport, with their teachers and coaches, ready to go on a flight to America.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The evening came in America California. The Boys were up in their bedroom, while Mrs. Douglas was out picking up Mr. Douglas from work.
Colt did his homework, as he was told. Tumtum was playing with his Power Ranger toy's on the floor, and Rocky was lying in bed texting with Emily over the phone.
Tumtum made a few noises while he was playing.
,, Tumtum, can you keep it down? I have homework to do. '' Colt said.
Tumtum got silent. Then a few seconds later, he made another noise, that disturbed Colt a little to much.
Colt stood up from the desk and went to Tumtum and took a few from his toy's away.
,, Hey. I was playing with them. '' Tumtum said.
,, Yeah. And now you're not. '' Colt threw the toy's into Tumtums toy box.
,, I'm gonna get them out again. '' Tumtum stood up.
Colt sigh and sat back down into his chair.
,, Something wrong bro? '' Rocky turned his head and looked at his brother across the room.
,, Why? ''
,, You sounded depressed. ''
,, Oh no. I'm not. No. I'm okay. '' Colt replied.
,, You sure? '' Rocky asked.
,, Yeah. '' Colt nodded.
,, How's your studying coming along? '' Rocky asked.
,, Almost done. '' Colt answered.
,, If you need any help, let me know. '' Rocky looked back into his phone.
Colt smiled a bit. It wasn't the test he kept thinking about. It was the competition Grandpa planned for Sunday. He hardly couldn't, wait.
The alarm went on in their room. That means, Mrs. Douglas was coming upstairs.
Rocky quickly put his phone away, and Tumtum rushed over to his toy box and threw his toy's in it and jumped into his bed.
,, Colt? '' Rocky whispered.
,, Hurry! '' Tumtum added.
But Colt stayed calmed at his desk.
The door opened. Mrs. Douglas peeked in. She couldn't believe her eye's.
Colt looked at his mom and his mom looked at Colt.
,, May I? '' Colt asked.
Mrs. Douglas smiled and nodded ,, Of course. ''
Colt smiled back.
,, Goodnight. '' Mrs. Douglas whispered.
,, Night. '' Colt replied.
Mrs. Douglas got out and closed the door.
Colt sighed and felt relieved. He thought his mom was going to yell at him for not being asleep yet. But now he did his homework and study, just like his mom told him to do.
Colt studied another 15 minutes, then he was done. He closed his books, turned the lamp off and went to bed.
