One day, Penny went to the Agate Forest to look for mushrooms, she returned to her lab with a handful of ones with red, blue, yellow and green polkadots all over. She sautéed them and invited Dr. Crygor over for dinner to try them, he was pleased with how well she cooked them, "You made all this?"

Penny giggled, "I can't take all the credit. They were your idea."

"Believe me, the multicolored fungus not only looks colorful, but it tastes extravagant too. I actually had some raw earlier because I just couldn't wait to eat them."

Mike stated a concern, "I still you two should stop getting your hands on these. Seriously, Penny. It's bad enough a bear almost killed your grandpa, what if another one comes?"

She assured him, "Mike, Mike, Mike, chances of that happening are slim. After that last bear died, there hasn't been a single bear attack in Diamond City since."

"Also, accoring to my scans, there are some side effects from ingesting..."

However, Penny interrupted him, "Hold that thought, I have to powder my nose."

Dr. Crygor began eating, Mike said, "Uh oh."

When Penny exited the bathroom, she saw her grandpa flailing and running while laughing manically, making her ask, "Grandpa? What's wrong?"

The robot blurted out, "I told you these mushrooms were bad news! They are laced with psilocybin!"

"Psilocybin? You mean..."

"Yes, those were a type of magic mushrooms and your grandfather is now high on drugs."

Then, Dr. Crygor exited Penny's Lab and ran into town, acting like a raving lunatic, talking about nonsense, having nervous breakdowns and behaving likes various types of animals. His hallucinations scared many people in town and soon got then attention of doctors and nurses, who pinned him down and said, "Nighty night, crazy guy."

The old man screamed after getting pricked with a syringe full of a sedative drug, making him fall asleep. As they put him in an ambulance, Penny caught up to him and desperately tried to stop everyone from taking him away, "Wait! Let him go!"

However, one nurse said to Penny, "Forget it, kid. This man is a raving lunatic, he's clearly too old and his sanity has decayed too much."

"That's not true, he's just a little drugged!"

"A little drugged? He scared ten children while screaming, flailing his arms, barking like a dog and thrashing around on all fours like a bull."

"Uh...uh...I...I..."

Nobody would listen any further, Penny sadly watched as her old man was driven away, most likely to the nearest insane asylum.


The next day, Penny looked at the newspaper, the headline read, "Dr. Crygor committed. Crackpot inventor declared legally insane."

She felt so scared and alone, "Poor grandpa. The thought of him alone and afraid in wherever he is now makes me think about him being alone and afraid in jail or a mental hospital. I don't know how he's going to survive. That poor man, it's all my fault."

Looking at the newspaper, Dr. Crygor was being held in the Diamond City Insane Asylum, she tracked the location with her phone and it took an hour to walk there with Mike coming along. Once there, Penny pleaded with the staff to let him out, but they simply said, "No. We can't have him freaking out again."

Mike stated, "That was because he accidentally ingested some magic mushrooms. Surely, the effects must have worn off last night."

Penny begged, "Please, either set him free or put me in his cell. He's the only family I have."

A doctor simply remarked, "You're perfectly sane, so no need for you to go in there. The nearest orphanage is on the other side of town."

That response hurt Penny's feelings, Mike offered to her, "I can take care of you."

The same doctor scoffed, "Robots can't raise children."

Mike snapped at him, "Now you're starting to come across as bigoted and insensitive!"

Then, a nurse asked Mike, "Did you say magic mushrooms?"

"Yes."

"Where did you find them?"

Penny answered, "Agate Forest."

"What does he look like?"

She gave the woman a picture of her granddad, then the nurse offered, "Well, he hasn't said or done anything crazy today, but we need proof just to be safe. Why don't you get us some of those mushrooms? If what you say is true, then that means you're right about the mushrooms causing his strange behavior and we'll let your grandfather go."

"Follow me."


In the Agate Forest, Penny found the magic mushrooms sticking out of the grass, she showed them to the nurse and after they got back, the nurse tested it out on one of the doctors. In ten minutes, the afflicted doctor began acting strange, "Dude, I can see sounds and hear colors."

Soon, he began to run around in a weird fashion, like he was seeing and hearing things no else could see or hear. He said, "There's a giant red fly on your head!"

The nurse gasped, "Good heavens! The child was right!"

Penny said, "Told you. Can you let him out now?"

"Wait here."

Minutes later, Dr. Crygor was released and Penny eagerly hugged him and said, "I'm so sorry, grandpa! I didn't mean for this to happen to you!"

Dr. Crygor hugged her back and consoled her, "It's not your fault."

Mike said, "You're right. It's your fault."

That offended Dr. Crygor, who angrily walked towards the robot and asked, "MY fault?!"

"Think about it, you didn't care that a bear could smell it from a mile away, you didn't care about the mushroom's hallucinatory effects. You almost died and then you ended up in the looney bin as a consequence."

He slowly realized that Mike was right after being reminded of the colorful mushroom's dangerous properties and said, "Oh god, you're right. It is all my fault, I thought it was aesthetically pleasing because of how colorful it was with red, blue, yellow and green spots on it."

Penny said, "I guess these mushrooms are more trouble than they're worth."

Her grandpa said, "It IS all my fault."

As they all left, Dr. Crygor said, "All in favor of swearing off any type fungi for good, say aye."

Everyone said, "Aye."

After they left, Penny and Dr. Crygor heard screaming as a roar was heard. A bear had broke into the hospital, scaring the employees as it trashed the place. Mike spoke with sarcasm, "No more bear attacks, right."

The three of them fled.
