The trusty old umbrella is beginning to fall apart and they decide it’s time to purchase another. Unfortunately, the umbrellas in the Everything You Need Shoppe and at Nix´s umbrella farm aren’t quite ready. However, Something can’t wait - so he decides to grow one himself using his new Accelerater Potato Laser. Taking some seeds from Nix, Something succeeds in growing an umbrella within minutes. As Something and Something Else stand back to admire this scientific feat, the umbrella suddenly starts to get bigger and bigger, taking on enormous proportions. Elsewhere is plunged into darkness as the new umbrella gets so big that it blocks out the sun. How are they going to shrink the umbrella? Will Elsewhere ever see sunlight again?!

It’s SE’s birthday and Something has forgotten! In a flash, Something runs down to the Shoppe and picks a present for SE, a little talking plant. SE loves his present and finds it especially endearing that the Plant calls him ‘Mama’. The next morning, to their horror, the Plant has grown to enormous proportions and is in the process of devouring the house! Swift informs Something and SE that within two days, the Plant will have reached adulthood and will become carnivorous! Will Something and SE be able to return the Plant to its natural habitat before it eats not only the house, but them as well?
