Here's something to hold you back while I work on my next story. It's the very first Code Lyoko fanfic I ever read and the one that inspired me to go into fanfiction.
Disclaimer: I did not make this. I'm uploading it for a person on DeviantArt (Spawnking) who I asked to put on here and he agreed. I also read the guidelines and nothing in it says I can't do this. Besides, I got permission to do this so it doesn't matter. So again: Didn't make this. Don't give me credit. The only thing I did was revise it for spelling and grammar as well as reword it to make more sense.

Code Lyoko
Near Death
A car pulls up to Kadic Academy as the sun shined on the last day of summer. A 15 year old is sitting in the car as the car slow to a stop.
"Now Ulrich." A man said "Remember our deal. You promise me you would do better in school and I'll pay for your soccer camp."
"Okay Dad, I will try harder." Ulrich said. He just wanted to meet his friends and get out of sight from his father.
"Good bye, dear." Ulrich's mother said as he got out of the car and grab his things.
"Bye." Ulrich said as he shut the car door and walked into the school while his dad glared at him.
His parents left and he pulled out his cell. He wrote 'Hey Yumi, I am back' and called Odd.
"Hello."
"Hey Knucklehead, how have you been?"
"Ulrich, is that you? Great to hear from you man, give me a minute and I will be down."
"Okay, I will be waiting." Ulrich replied. A few minutes flew by and Odd walked outside toward the bench where Ulrich had been sitting.
"Hey man how you doing?" Odd asked.
"Good and how about yourself?"
"Same." Ulrich checked his phone and there was no text from Yumi. "Hey Odd I texted Yumi earlier but she didn't reply." Ulrich said.
"Ulrich things changed around here while you were away." Odd replied "Yumi is not Yumi any more; just say she is a peppy cheerleader. There are groups now. Like Jeremie and Aelita are in the science nerds with Nicolas; I'm in the art group with Emily and sometimes Aelita. Then there are the sports with Sissi, William, and Yumi. Oh yeah man, Yumi is dating William."
"Can we just go up to the room already? I didn't really need to hear that last part."
"Let me grab your bag Ulrich."
"No, I got it." As he picked up his bag, Odd looked at his muscles he developed during the summer.
"Ulrich, I see you got muscular during the summer." Odd said.
"Yea, soccer camp will do that to you." Ulrich said.
They arrived at there old room and Odd pulled out a key.
"Why do you need a key to open the door?" Ulrich asked.
"Well the school got new beds and redid the rooms. The locks are just for safety precaution."
"Okay, so do you have a set of keys for me?"
"Yea, here you go." Odd said pulling a second set of keys from his pocket.
A few months went by and Ulrich is doing well in school. As it got near Thanksgiving, Ulrich got brief headaches during the day and throws up a little during the night. It is dinner time and the gang is talking.
"Man I got another F on my test." Odd said.
"Maybe if you studied more than eating you would pass." said Jeremie.
"That's cold man." he replies.
"He's right Odd. Ulrich you haven't eaten anything, are you feeling alright?" Aelita asked.
"No, I am fine, just a little dizzy."
"You have been throwing up during the night." Odd said.
"Odd I would kill you if I didn't feel sick, so drop it." Ulrich said seriously.
"Ulrich why don't you go see Nurse Yolanda and see what she says." Aelita said.
"Fine I will go to see her. Here Odd, you can have my dinner."
"Really, thanks Ulrich."
Ulrich got up and slowly walk toward the door trying to hold himself up. He makes it to the nurse's office and goes in.
"Hello Ulrich, what's the matter?"
"I am dizzy and I throw up during the night sometimes." Ulrich said.
"Have you been eating?"
"Not really." Ulrich said.
"What kind of dizziness is it?"
"Well it feels like the room is spinning and I can hardly walk when I have it; I have to hold myself up to get around."
"Lay here and let me exam you." Yolanda said. Ulrich lies down and Yolanda exams him.
"Let me call your parents and I tell them what I think."
Yolanda calls them and told them Ulrich isn't feeling well. They drove to Kadic Academy and went into the nurse's office.
"What's wrong with him, Nurse Yolanda?" His mother asks.
"You might want to sit down before I tell you." They sit down and Yolanda begins
"After he told me his symptoms and after I examined him, I think he might have cancer but I'm not sure what type."
"He might have WHAT?" Ulrich's father yelled.
"Cancer, Mr. Stern." Nurse Yolanda said. "The only way we will know is if he get examinations for cancer. I suggest you do it right away."
They agreed and went to start the car.
"Do you want anything from your room, dear?"
"No, let's just go and get this over with," Ulrich said with tears coming down his face.
Ulrich gets into the back of the car and they drove to the hospital. His parents registered him and got the tests done. After Thanksgiving, they go back to the hospital. They are waiting for the doctor to come in and Ulrich is lying down because his head is bothering him. There was a knock on the door and it opens.
"Hello, my name is Doctor Russian." The doctor said.
"Hello doctor, what does the test say?" Ulrich father's asked.
"I have some good news and some bad news."
"Start with the bad news first." his father said.
"The bad news is Ulrich has cancer, I'm sorry to say." Ulrich's mother starts to cry and his dad starts to cry too.
"How long does he have?" His father asks.
"A few months tops. But the good news is that we might be able to cure him."
"You might be able to cure my cancer?" Ulrich asks. "Where is the cancer?"
"In the heart, Ulrich. When you are near death, we could do a transplant and remove the cancer from your heart, but your heart might fail."
"I don't care anymore, I have cancer and that is going to kill me so why not." Ulrich said
"When you are in your weakest part then we will do it."
"Thank you doctor." his parents said.
Ulrich just sat their thinking about all of the things he loved and cared about.
"Ulrich, I just want to let you know no one else have the type of cancer you do. You are the first one to have this cancer and you're going to be in a lot of pain."
"I said I don't care anymore." They left the doctor's office and start driving.
"Ulrich, what do you want to do?"
"I want to go back to the academy were my friends are," he said. His parents didn't argue with him and drove to the academy.
