Just let me go! If you’re still holding on to me when I’m picked, I’m going to die, and you’re going to have to live with that for the rest of your life.

I can’t let you go! You don’t understand how much I need you here with me.

This is my dream, my destiny, I've lived for this day to come, and you want me to just change my mind and stay.

[hesitant] You don’t know what I've gone through. Ever since I was a sapling, I've been abandoned. Growing up, I never had any friends cause everybody always thought I was weird. You've been my friend for a while and you're the only one who’s understood me – no one's liked me and understood me.

If you were to leave – I'd be all alone. No one to share my day with or to express my feelings to. I'd be depressed every day of my life, knowing that everybody around me – all the strangers– don’t even like me. It would just make it worse.

I'm sorry that all that’s happened to you, but you also know that you're my friend. But if I stay, I'm going to end up being miserable. Every day, knowing that I'm here and still haven’t gotten my wish. I don't think I could live through that.

Well, you have to make a decision quickly, cuz they're on the way up to pick you right now.

How do you know they're not coming to check on me?

I overheard them talking about how they're coming to pick you cause they think you’re ready. But what they don't know is that I've got a hold of you –I'm holding onto you and if they pull you, you're going to die.

But they DO know! What YOU don't know is that I sent a letter down to them, telling them to bring an ax to cut me loose from you, and that way I won’t have to die.

How could you do that to me? If they cut off my roots, that could seriously injure me and possibly kill me.

I didn't know that just cutting off one root could possibly kill you, since you have so many of them, but you don’t understand. All my life I have been waiting for this special day – this is what I have lived for.

Why is getting eaten so important to you? What if you just die from old age?

The reason why I need to be eaten is so I can go to that special place, a place where all the mushrooms are reunited with their great grandparents and old friends that had died. A place where mushrooms live forever. The island that is surrounded by green grass, waterfalls, beautiful flowers, and rainbows that, when the sun hits them, reflect light greens, and blues bluer than the sky in the highest mountains – reds like when the sunset sets in the fog – and when the sun hits these colors, they shine down like laser lights, down to the paradise, making the whole island filled with colors!

The only way I can go to this paradise is by being eaten.

Why didn't you tell me sooner? I didn't know all this came after you were eaten. I thought you just wanted to abandon me because I was getting annoying or something.

That’s not how it is at all. I love hanging out with you everyday – I don’t call you my best friend for nothing. If I could bring you along, I would.

They’re almost here!

I know, I can hear them talking. Well, you have to let me go, you can’t still be holding on to me when they get up here or they’ll cut your root.

You’re right – it’s been great knowing you over the years. I want to thank you for always being there for me, and understanding my thoughts. I hope................ [he’s cut off]

[the owners start undigging Undo and try to see if Cyber is still holding onto him. When they realize he is, they get ready to cut him, but Cyber lets go and says his last words to Undo.]

[Years later, at mushroom paradise, a tree dies from natural causes, and they need it replaced, so Undo writes a letter to Cyber, telling him the good news....]
