Misty's Journey by Misty's Double

Chapter 6- Happy Birthday to Misty… in hospital???

Part 2

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day…

Ash, Brock and Jo had woken up early in the morning due to a thunderstorm at around 4:00. They were sat quietly by the window playing Pictionary. It was Pikachu's turn, and she had begun to draw the ever-famous ketchup bottle.

"Hmm… is it a flower of some sort?" Jo asked, tilting her head to one side to see if it changed when she moved. Her answer was a shake of Pikachu's head, before Pikachu carried on with her 'masterpiece', in other words, a scribbled mess.

"Well, I think it's something to do with food…" Ash guessed

"Pika!" Pikachu, replied, pointing at Ash

"Okay… then it might be… hmm. Sushi?"

"Don't be dumb Ash!"

"You're the dumb one! Since when does that look like a flower?" Ash retorted

"You 2 chill. You'll wake up Misty… and then you'll be in for it! Besides, it's tomato ketchup, isn't it Pikachu?" Brock answered.

"Pika!!!"

"Aww… no fair… I'll never have a go…" Ash whined as Brock took the pens off Pikachu.

"Well, Ash, if you even took an educated guess, then you probably would get it!"

"Oh shut up Misty, I don't want to start a fight with you… Hey! Since when have you been awake?" Ash realized as he swiveled around, and staring right back at him was Misty smiling.

"Since you lot started playing pictionary. I just kept quiet to see how you did…" Misty giggled. "And obviously, that wasn't too good. How could THAT look like sushi?" Misty finished, pointing at the paper stuck to the wall.

"Well, can you do any better?"  Ash retorted

"Oh don't start. I'm not in the mood for fighting today. Number 1 coz I won't be able to keep up with your snide remarks coz I'm feeling lousy, and number 2 coz I'm in as good a mood you can get in hospital, waiting to be tortured by poison…" Misty sighed.

"Oh, that just reminded me," Ash said, as if he'd remembered the most important thing ever. He walked over to Misty's bedside cabinet, crouched down, opened it and took out his presents for Misty. Misty frowned

"Happy Birthday Mist!" He cheered, passing his presents to her. Her face lit up.

"Oh, you remembered!!! Thank you!!!" Misty replied, reaching out to hug him.

"Okay… can you let go… of me? At least… loosen your grip… your pot hurts." Ash struggled to say. Misty pulled away from him, and he blushed.

"Sorry!" Misty finished, also blushing.

"Well, aren't you gonna open them?" Ash said, eyeing the presents in Misty's lap. They had been wrapped in metallic sea blue wrapping paper. Jo shook her head.

"No way! She's gotta have ours too…" Jo argued as she made her way to the same cupboard. Brock followed. They both got their presents out for Misty.

"So, how are you feeling after yesterday's sicky spell?" Ash asked

"I don't feel sick anymore, but I think the poison symptoms are starting to show up, coz I just feel lousy. Let's just put it this way. If I were still traveling with you, I'd be holding you up an awful lot. I'm just glad I don't have to walk anywhere today…"

Jo cleared her throat.

"Happy birthday Misty!" Brock said

"The same from me!" Jo added

"Thanks you guys. I really thought you wouldn't remember…" Misty replied

"Now can she open them?" Ash said excitedly

"God he's like a six year old isn't he?" Misty replied, smirking at Ash. He pulled a face.

"Alright. Misty, just open them!" Ash ordered

"Okay, okay. I'm opening them. Just take a chill pill, Ash" Misty laughed. She looked at the pile of gifts on her bed, and she picked up another present. It was a ball shaped gift.

"Let me guess, it's a Pokéball!" Misty laughed, as she opened it.

"Hey, no normal Pokéball at that, I'll tell you!" Ash retorted offended.

"Well, surprise surprise, it's from you!" Misty replied, as she opened the present. In her hand was a Pokéball. Instead of being red at the top, it was a turquoise colour, and there was a silver fishing hook near the top. Her face lit up.

"Actually, it's from my mum and Prof. Oak. That is a new Pokéball. Prof. Oak told me this was called a Marine Ball. This ball is 3 times as effective as the Lure Ball, and has an 80% success rate when capturing Water Pokémon. Of course when they're weakened, it'll be that rate. When it was being tested, it seemed to have a better result when catching Pokémon from salt water. So in other words, this ball's best for sea water Pokémon."

"That's amazing. Just think of the Pokémon I could catch with that… Octillerys, even Tentacruels! I'll have to thank your mum and Oak for that."

"Uh huh. That's not all though," Ash added while passing her the last present from him. She looked at it, and then opened it. She looked at the ball in her hand. It was pearly white at the bottom, and metallic turquoise at the top.

"It's… beautiful." Misty stated. She held the ball in her hand, and looked at Ash with a look to say 'You haven't!' The ball was heavier than the Marine Ball, so she had a slight thought that he'd got her a Pokémon. Ash saw the look, and grinned goofily.

"Yep! I know what you're thinking. Use it in your next battle, that is, if you're working in the Gym of course,"

"Oh thank you so much! I'll use it when I get back…" Misty said as she lunged for him again. Of course, she was lying about the latter. 'I'll use it against Whitney more like, that is, when I get out of here…' Misty thought to herself.

"Yeah, okay, that's fine!" Ash choked again. "Erm, you should open Brock and Jo's presents now I think." Misty let go of him.

"Oh sorry!" Misty said to the other two. Brock handed over his present. He hadn't wrapped it, but Misty wasn't bothered. She noticed the cover of the book.

"Oh thanks Brock!!!" She said on sight of the cover. It read 'Becoming a Water Pokémon Breeder, by Jessica Mariner' "She's such a famous Water Type Breeder you know!"

"Of course I knew that. Here, I've got you something else too." Brock continued, passing Misty three tins of specialist water Pokémon food.

"With that stuff, I thought your Pokémon would be getting bored with Pokéchow now, so I got you some of this for your Pokémon. Each of those tins would feed a squad of six four times, so one tin would last say, two days."

"Thanks again Brock! Corsy would definitely enjoy this!!!" She said, hugging Brock. Jo was last to give Misty her present. She picked up the present. It was wrapped in some green paper, and was a thin box shape.

"Hmm…" Misty said while opening it. "Oh wow!!! It's a Waterdex!!! I'd heard about these on Mary's Radio Show a month back!" She continued when she saw the box. She opened the box, and in it was a clear blue Pokédex shaped object. Misty turned it on, and Ash naturally looked at it to see what it did.

"Oh cool!!! Let me have a go, please?" Ash begged

"If you must... I'll have to programme it later…" Misty finished, as she passed the Waterdex to Ash.

"Oh this is cool!!! I want one!"

"Honestly Ash! Want doesn't get, but your birthday is coming up soon…" Misty teased.

"Yes! I want one then!"

"Oh boy…" Brock stated, rubbing his forehead.

Half an hour later, Nurse Joy came in to give Misty her morning check up, and replace her IV.

"Hmm… you've got a high temperature Misty… that means the poison's finally setting in. I'll be out in the main ward tending to patients, and if you feel ill again, tell Ash, and he'll fetch me, okay? But the best thing to do right now is to get as much rest as possible." Joy told Misty. Misty nodded her head. Joy left the room, and Ash came back in, followed by Jo and Brock.

"Hey Mist! We just came back from the canteen, and a mail deliveryman was asking for you. He had LOADS of parcels in his hands…" Ash was saying to Misty, when one of the ward nurses came into the room, followed by the deliveryman.

"Um, Misty, these were sent to the hospital this morning through special delivery from the Indigo Plateau. Where do you want them?" The nurse asked Misty.

"Oh, I'll have them here," Misty replied, pointing to the bed. The deliveryman came and set them down on the bed.

"I've got more in the van, I'll be back in a minute." He replied, before leaving again.

"Wow, who could all these be from?" Misty asked as she picked up a parcel, and unwrapped it. She noticed a card, but opened the present first. Ash picked up the card, and opened it.

"Oh cool, lots of chocolate!!!" Ash said when he noticed Misty's present. He opened the envelope in his hand, and read the card out to Misty.

"'To Misty, hope you recover real soon, and happy birthday, from Lance?' Misty, you know Lance???" Ash exclaimed

"Well, duh, I *am* a gym leader…" Misty said while picking up another parcel.

"Hey, Ash. You can help unwrap them if you want. You two can too!" Misty called. 10 minutes later, all the parcels had been opened, and the envelopes were left. They took turns to read out the messages.

"Hmm… this one says 'We all hope you get well soon, from the Johto League organizers,'" Jo read

"Oh, this one's from my sisters. 'To our baby sister, get well soon, and happy birthday, from your three sisters P.S Thank Ashy-boy for telling us about you.' Oh, okay. That's how they found out…" Misty said.

"This one says 'To Misty, Happy birthday, and we hope you recover soon, the Elite Four'." Brock read. Misty ended up having a present or card from everybody involved in the Indigo, Orange and Johto Leagues. Ash was amazed at how she knew all the Gym Leaders and everything, and every time, she pointed out that she was a gym leader herself…

*~*~*~*~*

5 days passed, and Misty was still in hospital, obviously. Misty has been moved out of Intensive care to the top floor, which is the Poison Ward. Again, she was in a separate room. Her condition had obviously deteriorated, due to the poison symptoms passing through. For the past 2 days, she has had a very high fever, and has been unable to move her arms or legs. This sort of showed a glimmer of hope to some, but also some were getting more and more worried about her condition.

Ash had become slightly more hopeful, as soon the antidote will be used, and Misty will be back to her old self. But, Joy and Dr Barton were getting worried. The poison was at a higher concentration than first expected, and with the amount that was in Misty's blood, she could fall back into a coma state at any minute.

*~*~*~*~*

(A/N Each time we switch from TR to the hospital, then it's carrying on from where the others left off, so after this part of TR, the hospital part will be AFTER the TR part took place… confusing? It took me 10 minutes to try and explain it… -_-;)

Jessie, James and Meowth were entering the Goldenrod city limits. The afternoon sun was beginning to sink from the sky for the night.

"Well then, we're back in Goldenrod, what we gonna do now we're here?" Meowth directed at his teammates.

"Hmm… well, Twerpette was rushed here, so why don't we go visit her?" Jessie asked

"After we've had something to eat, plus I want to stroll along the beach. Look at it!!!" James exclaimed, pointing at the coast.

"We'll walk along the beach to the nearest burger stall, then walk up to the hospital to visit Twerpette, okay?" Jessie said. James and Meowth nodded.

*~*~*~*~*

Back with Misty and co, Misty had felt exhausted earlier, and fell into an unsettled feverish slumber. She had been moaning in her sleep, but recently gone quiet. Ash had noticed this.

"Hmm… you guys, do you think Misty's alright? She's been quieter the past 10 minutes or so…"

Jo turned around from the game her Brock and Pikachu had been playing, namely Hangman, and replied.

"Yeah. She has hasn't she… a lot quieter…"

"I hope that Dr Barton can use the antidote soon, she's getting really bad…" Ash worriedly added. Just then Nurse Joy came in through the door. She looked at Ash, and her smile dissolved

"Erm, Ash, we've got a problem. It's about the antidote…" With that, everybody looked up.

"In our antidote store, we usually have a high stock of antidotes for every poison type. However, we've searched the whole hospital, and there's no Arbok antidote…" Joy said, and then stared at the floor.

"But… but there are other hospitals with antidotes… right?" Ash started with tears in his eyes. 'This can't be happening… why Misty?' He thought to himself.

Joy sighed. "There seems to be a shortage of antidotes everywhere… the nearest Arbok antidote is in Lavender City Hospital… It won't get here in time…" Ash just couldn't believe this. "Ash, don't worry, Dr Barton's looking for some medication that'll help Misty until it arrives… But he hasn't found anything yet." Joy said apologetically. Ash sighed.

"Okay. Thanks a lot Joy…" Ash began, but was interrupted by Dr Barton at the door.

"Joy! I've found one!!! It's the last one left in Johto. Your cousin in the Pokémon Centre found it in her human medicine store…"

"Brilliant! Ash, do you mind just waking Misty to take this?" Joy asked happily

"Alright. Misty, come on, wake up. We've got your antidote…" Ash said to Misty. She woke up slowly.

"Misty, we've got your antidote. Just stay awake for a while for us, will you?" Joy said while sucking the antidote into a needle for the injection. She passed it to Dr Barton.

"Now this will hurt quite a bit, okay?" Dr Barton said, while finding the vein under her elbow. He cleaned it, and then injected the antidote into Misty. She bit her lip, trying to stop herself from crying. Dr Barton pulled the syringe out of Misty.

"Oww… when is this gonna take effect?" Misty asked groggily

"It should take about 15 minutes. We'll come back in 15 minutes to check, okay?" Joy answered, as Dr Barton put a plaster on the needle mark. Afterwards, him and Joy left the room. Misty sighed, and smiled weakly.

"The quicker this works, the quicker I'm out of this place. Ash, do you realise that if I was still with you guys, then when I get out of here I'll be lagging behind loads… you'd probably lose your temper after half an hour…"

"Why?"

"Because I haven't walked since around 2 weeks ago… the only time I've left this bed are when I was transferred from ICU up here, then that was onto another bed, and I didn't have to move much…" Ash nodded in agreement, and at the same time, his stomach growled. Ash laughed.

"I guess you're hungry then, eh? Go and get yourself something, and while you're at it, fetch me and Jo something too." Brock ordered Ash.

"Alright," Ash left the room on a mission for food. (A/N sorry it sounds lame, it just made a change… ^_^;)

"Misty, when you do leave the hospital, you've gotta take it easy, right?" Brock warned Misty

"Yeah, yeah, I know…"

*~*~*~*~*

Jessie took her last mouthful of a hamburger.

"I should really stop eating fatty food like burgers, they'll murder my perfect figure…" She complained. Meowth and James face faulted.

"Nyahh, shaddup moaning!!! It's ages since we ate a burger!" Meowth replied, scratching Jessie's face.

"You great stupid furball!!!!!" Jessie screamed.

"Should we be going to the hospital now?" James sighed.

"Yeah, along the seafront…" Meowth trailed off. The trio then began to walk towards the coast again, after filling their stomachs.

*~*~*~*~*

Back with Misty (again)…

Dr Barton was checking on Misty for any signs of improvement due to the antidote.

"Hmm… this is weird… Misty, can you lift your arms yet?" Misty tried.

"Hardly," She replied weakly

"That is what I was afraid of…" Dr Barton sighed. "Misty, your blood pressure's still high, your fever's returning again, and generally, it seems that your body hasn't reacted to the antidote…" Dr Barton frowned in frustration.

"So… what's going to happen?" Misty asked worriedly

"That's the thing. We're not sure. There's one thing I'd like to do though. I'm going to take a blood sample and have it tested to see the poison count…" Dr Barton explained as he took a syringe and took some blood.

"I'll be back in a minute with the results, okay? Jo, when Ash comes back, explain to him what's happened please?" Dr Barton left the room.

"Ash is gonna be pretty upset when he comes back…" Brock started

"Yeah, but spare a thought for Misty as well…" Jo retorted. Misty wasn't listening. She was just staring out of the window, seeing a larger seascape from the top floor.

"Sorry Misty…" Brock apologized. Misty didn't reply. "Misty? Hello, Misty?" Brock went up to her and waved his hand in front of her face. She jumped.

"Huh? Oh sorry Brock. What did you say?" Misty asked oblivious to the conversation.

"I said I was sorry."

"About what?" At that moment, Ash came into the room, and a couple of seconds later, Dr Barton came in also.

"Doesn't matter…" Brock finished, noticing Dr Barton and Ash.

"Oh good, you're back Ash. We came to check Misty earlier, and well… we found out that Misty hasn't reacted to the antidote what so ever…" Dr Barton began. Ash was giving Brock and Jo their food he'd got them from the canteen. At this, he swiveled round.

"What?? Why?" He burst out.

"That's what we're trying to find out now. I took some blood and tested for the blood count, and well, it's higher than we expected. That antidote was for slight strains of poison stings, but this was more serious. Misty, when the Poison sting hit you, it seems that you were exposed more than we knew. So, in other words, you have a lot more poison in your circulation than we thought at first, more than we know what to do with, I'm afraid." Dr Barton explained.

"So what's Misty supposed to do now? Wait until the poison kills her?" Ash said loudly

"Well, we have two options, not counting what you said. One is that we make a stronger antidote, but no one here owns an Arbok, do they?" Everybody shook his or her heads, except Misty, whose expression was glazed over.

"Okay, that's out of the question. The only other option is to give a blood transfusion, but we haven't got the right blood group available, and we would have to live with the threat of the body rejecting it…" Dr Barton concluded.

"Oh great. This just gets better and better…" Ash said sarcastically, walking up to the window.

"You alright Mist?" He asked as he made his way to the window.

"Mmm… Just a bit tired."

"Oh, that's a thing. Misty, whatever you do, don't go to sleep until we find something to help you, okay? Because if you do fall asleep, you've got a chance you won't wake again…" Dr Barton said. He then let the room in search of some help. Ash just looked out of the window onto the beach.

*~*~*~*~*

Jessie, James and Meowth were making their way along the seafront.

"Ahh, isn't it beautiful? Watching the sunset over Whirl Islands and being reflected in the sea? It's so calm…" Jessie sighed

"Aww, come on Jess, let's get this visit over with. The quicker we get it over with, the quicker we can tend to our wounds from her…" James whined

"Plus Twerp's probably there now…" Meowth added

"Grrr… okay! We'll go then. Satisfied?" Jessie moaned. 5 minutes later, the trio had made their way up half of the seafront, and near the hospital.

"Okay, we can see the hospital… so how do we get there, Einstein?" Jessie targeted James

"Err… Why don't we… follow the beach to the hospital, then get to the hospital from there…" James stammered. They agreed, and made their way further along the coast to the hospital. They were stood right outside it, but couldn't find a way in.

"Great. Where's the entrance?" James said angrily

"Up there, Jimmy Boy. You've just gotta find us a way up the cliff…" Meowth answered fairly calmly.

*~*~*~*~*

Misty was laid down, still trying to stay awake in the bed. Ash was next to her, keeping her awake by talking to her.

"So then. What did you do when you left us?" Ash asked, keeping the conversation.

"I- Ash, could you… open the window please? I'm getting too hot." She replied. Ash nodded, and turned around to the window.

"So, what did you do?"

"I went back to Cerulean, then trained for a week…" Misty stifled a yawn. Ash caught the sight of somebody outside the hospital on the beach. 'No… it's not them is it?' Ash thought. When he noticed a Meowth, he leaped up.

"Misty, I'll be back in a minute… I've seen Team Rocket…" With that, Ash was gone out of the door. Misty just stared at the door he had just rushed out of.

"Team Rocket…" She said to herself. For the first time since she had woken, she realised that she couldn't actually remember what happened. She could remember the fact that Team Rocket attacked her, but she didn't know how or why they had attacked her. But that shouldn't worry her now. Ash had just left her…

*~*~*~*~*

Ash just ran all the way through the poison ward to the lift, and was on his way to the ground floor. 'Those three are so dead… I can't believe why they attacked Misty. When I get my hands on them…' He thought to himself, but was distracted by the lift stopping. It had reached the ground floor. As soon as the doors opened, he had rushed out of them, past the reception, and out of the door. As soon as he was outside, he looked around for the quickest way to the beach. He noticed the cliff just a little way from him, so he ran flat out to it.

"Hmm, where are those idiots?" Ash said to himself, scanning the beach. He noticed them, so he jumped over the fence, and began to make his way down the cliff. It was quite easy until half way down, when he had to begin reaching down further. Towards the bottom, he speeded up the descent. However, he lost his footing, and fell the rest of the way. He landed on his side, with pain shooting along his arm. Ignoring it, he stood up and made his way towards Team Rocket.

*~*~*~*~*

5 minutes had passed since Ash had run out of the hospital, and Misty was becoming increasingly tired, and her fever was also increasing again. 'Why can't I just go to sleep?' Misty thought as her eyes went heavy again.

"Misty, come on, stay awake, please?" Jo asked desperately, knowing what would probably be the outcome if she did fall asleep.

"I… can't stay awake… for much longer, I can't give up though," Misty struggled to say. She was trying her hardest to stay awake, but she just wanted to give up, and go to sleep. 'How could sleep be painful? Just 5 minutes won't hurt…' she thought again. She was beginning to fall asleep, when she realised what she was doing, but couldn't fight back to get her eyes open again…

"Misty? Misty, come on, wake up…" Brock panicked, shaking Misty.

"I'll go get Dr Barton…" Jo said, leaving the room quickly.

*~*~*~*~*

"Hey! Team Rocket!" Ash shouted, running towards Team Rocket.

"Argh, the twerp! Come on, run!!!" James shouted at the sight of Ash.

"Oh no you don't… you're not getting away from me…" Ash said through gritted teeth, now sprinting at Team Rocket. He caught up with them. He stared at them with pure hate. James gulped.

"We're in for it now…"

"Damn right you are! I want to know why you attacked Misty, and she'll probably want answers too. How low can you three go (---- lookie, it rhymed… ^^), huh? Attacking a person, wait, my soul mate (That rhymed again… how am I doing it?)? What the hell were you three thinking? Right now she's waiting in hospital for either a blood transfusion or death… and I don't think she'd like to be killed by the likes of Team Rocket…" Ash bombarded Team Rocket with questions. Jessie tried to keep her cool.

"Whoa, calm down Twerp," She said to him starting to lose her temper.

"WHY SHOULD I CALM DOWN??" Ash shouted his loudest. Jessie slapped him.

"So we can actually say something to you!" Jessie growled.

"Come on then, say what you're going to say," Ash said impatiently. James sighed.

"Well, when we attacked Twerpette, we thought… we thought she was with you. As usual, we tried to steal Pikachu, but when we found that you weren't with her, and it was too late to pull out of the plan…" James explained

"Why?"

"Because she would have fallen down the pit anyway." Jessie finished

"So how did she get poisoned?"

"Well, there were two other twerps around, we don't know whether they were with her or not, but they began attacking us. One of the twerps' Pokémon dodged Arbok's Poison Sting, and it bounced off the pit wall onto her…" Jessie sounded guilty, but Ash couldn't make out whether it was genuine guilt or not.

"Before you ask anything else Twerp, yes we do feel for Twerpette. Actually, we were deciding on whether to go visit her or not…" James also said.

"Hmm, I'll go along with you for now. But I need to ask you for a favour," Ash began

"What does it involve?" Meowth piped up.

"Well, as I said, Misty is practically waiting to die. She's got such a high poison count in her blood that the Antidote wasn't strong enough. There's no more left, and as I said before, she could have a blood transfusion. However, we're still waiting to see if there's any blood suitable for her, it's taking too long. She really needs a double strength antidote to get rid of the poison in her blood… That's where you three come in…"

"Let me guess, you want us to help make an antidote for her using Arbok? Sorry, no deal." Jessie said.

"Please, besides, if she dies, I could tell Officer Jenny who murdered her…"

"Oh, come on Jessie, it won't kill us to help for once… we didn't mean to nearly kill her, did we?" James whispered to Jessie.

"Besides, YOU were the ones who put her in this state. Don't you think it'd make things better? At least you're helping…" Ash said, his temper beginning to rise again.

"Oh, alright! Are you happy now? We'll help her now, okay?" Jessie practically screamed. Ash looked as if he was going to cry.

*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, things weren't getting any better with Misty…

"Right, how long has she been asleep?" Dr Barton asked.

"About 20 minutes… We couldn't find you or Joy." Jo answered.

"Have you tried waking her?"

"Yeah, as soon as she fell asleep." Jo replied. Dr Barton checked her pulse.

"Oh God, no… her pulse is decreasing again, and her breathing's becoming laboured again. Jo, could you go fetch any nurse you can find, and tell them to bring a heart monitor in? Oh, and ask them to page Nurse Joy, okay?"

"Yep." And with that, Jo had gone off for a nurse.

"So… what does this mean?" Brock piped up.

"Well, I'm not sure, but the signs are pointing towards the fact she may well be falling back into a coma state." Dr Barton answered solemnly. A couple of minutes later, Jo returned, with Nurse Joy following soon after.

"What's the matter? Jo said to bring a heart monitor…" Joy asked worriedly.

"Yeah, well, where is it?" Dr Barton replied.

"It's on the way. One of the nurses is bringing it down." Joy replied.

"Thanks. Okay, Misty fell asleep about 30 minutes ago now, I've come to check on her, and her pulse has slowed, and breathing's becoming weak again. I think that her body's slowing down to enter a coma again. You have better knowledge of comas, so could you help?" The heart monitor arrived so they hooked Misty up to it.

"Okay." Joy checked Misty over again. "Hmm… at the moment she isn't quite in a coma, it's what you could call the twilight zone (don't ask where that came from…), meaning she appears to be going into or coming out of a coma, and is perfectly aware of what's happening, just that she can't bring herself to wake up or anything."

"Is that bad?" Jo asked

"Not too serious, but we're going to have to try and wake her up though. Otherwise she could fall back into a coma anytime…" Joy replied
