Episode 6: The One where Joey is in a Coma
Author's Note: All of you are wondering what happened at the end of the 5th chapter. I know it. The answers will be uncovered on today's episode of Friends! (Sorry it took so long for an update. I've been busy with season 9) :)
Summary: When Joey ends up in the hospital after falling into a rare, surprise coma, the entire group comes to see him. Nanette, who is totally devastated, forgets to tell Phoebe and Mike.
(Joey and Rachel's apartment)
Nanette was completely flabbergasted by the recent happening. She knew she had to call 911 immediately, but she couldn't move. She finally regained her senses and ran to the phone, she dialed and called.
"911 Emergency," The voice on the line said.
"My boyfriend's lungs aren't moving! We live at Number 19 at the apartment by Central Perk." Nanette said with a very shaky voice.
"We're on our way," The voice replied. Nanette knew she had to do something to help, but she didn't know what to do. She decided that she had better call the others. She called Monica and Chandler first.
"Monica?" Nanette said in the same, utterly shaken voice, "something's wrong with Joey!"
"What is it?" Monica asked in a concerned tone.
"His lungs aren't moving!" Nanette replied.
"We'll be right there!" Monica said, "Where are they taking him?"
"I think to General Hospital." Nanette replied.
"Um, Nanette?"
"Yeah?"
"That is a show on ABC," Monica said.
(Title Sequence)
"It's probably Beth Israel Medical Center. We'll be right down." Nanette decided to call Ross's apartment to see if Rachel was there.
"Hello?" It was Rachel
"Hey, it's Nanette," She said, "Joey's lungs aren't moving!"
"Really?" Rachel asked, "Where is he?"
"He's right here," Nanette said, "They're taking him to Beth Israel Medical Center."
"We'll be right there." Rachel replied. The ambulance arrived; they carried Joey to the vehicle. Nanette knew she had someone else to call but she didn't know who. She looked for Joey's parents' phone number. She found it and called them.
"Hello?" It was Joey's dad.
"Hi, Mister Tribianni?" Nanette asked, "This is Joey's girlfriend Nanette. Your son's lungs aren't moving."
"Oh my god!" His father said, "Where is he?"
"There taking him to Beth Israel Medical Center," Nanette said.
"We'll see you there." Joey's dad said. Nanette thought she was ready to go; but she had forgotten to call Phoebe and Mike.
(Beth Israel Medical Center, Room 192)
Joey was on his back on a bed inside the hospital. Everyone was there. A doctor came in and started asking questions.
"Are you Miss Remelo?" The male doctor asked.
"Yes," Nanette said in the voice she had been using all day, "Is he alright?"
"He will be," He said, "Joey fell into an amazingly rare sugar induced coma. He will probably wake up soon."
"Phew," Nanette said relieved.
"Where's Phoebe?" Monica asked.
"Phoebe?" Nanette responded clueless.
"She's the blond with the truckload of Jewelry," Rachel said.
"OH NO!" Nanette shouted, "I didn't call Phoebe and…" She paused.
"MIKE!" everyone returned.
"Mike!" Nanette finished.
"Oh boy," Ross said, "She's gonna kick your ass!"
"She'll understand right!" Nanette said, "It was a misunderstanding!" Rachel glared at Ross and said,
"Ross just thinks of Phoebe as a short fuse. And he's totally wrong. Just don't tell her you forgot."
"Good," Nanette said back, "I'll call her now." She dialed and put the phone up to her ear. It rang four times and Mike answered.
"Hello?"
"Mike?" Nanette inquired, "Can I talk to Phoebe?"
"Sure, hold on," Mike said back.
"Yeah?" Phoebe said.
"Joey's in a coma right now, can you come to Beth Israel Medical Center?"
"Definitely!" Phoebe exclaimed shocked, "Which room is he in?"
"One-ninety-two." Nanette answered.
(Phoebe and Mike's apartment)
"Mike, we need to go to the hospital." Phoebe said to her husband.
"Are your contractions starting already?" Mike yelled quickly.
"God, Mike!" Phoebe said, "It's still going to be 8 months! Joey's in a coma."
"Oh no!" Mike said back, "Let's go!"
When they came to the room, Joey had already woken up.
"What the hell happened!" Joey exclaimed.
"You fell into a sugar induced coma." The Doctor said, "What have you had to eat lately?"
"Pie." Joey said.
"Figures," everyone said quietly.
"A little less pie and you'll be fine." The doctor replied. After he left, Joey said,
"He was just kidding right?"
(Names)
Phoebe and Mike arrived.
"How can he be awake already?" Phoebe asked suspiciously.
"Uh, well," Nanette scrambled for excuses, "I forgot to tell you."
"What?" Phoebe said, "You even told his parents and not us!"
"I wasn't really paying attention." She stuttered, "My future husband may have been dying!"
"Fine. I forgive you," Phoebe said, "The worlds going to end in a few days anyway."
