The next morning, Shmoop wakes up in the middle of the night and realizes that he's been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's not sure what's going on, but he suspects that it's the mushroom that's making him so sick. He tries to wake up Shmoby, who's also in a bad mood, but the two of them can't get their nerves to calm down enough to talk to each other again. Shmear is worried that the mushroom is going to kill him, but Shmoltz reassures him that it will only make him worse.
