Summary: what happens when Cody gets sick before his basket ball game?

i love Cody, don't you?

"Cody, Cody wake up" Max was talking to him Cody realized as he woke slowly. "Huh" he muttered.

"You fell asleep in math. Are you feeling all right? you never sleep in class"

"Yeah, that's my job" Zack butted in.

"I'm fine" Cody replied. This was a total lie of course, but he couldn't miss basketball practice today. Cody knew he wasn't so great, but he wanted to play a position besides right bench for once. "That was our last class guys, lets him the gym" Cody said.

"yeah, maby Arwin won't scream when we give him the ball today"

"don't bet on it" Max said. Cody walked with his friends to practice, not really listing to the conversation going on around him. He just wanted his head to stop pounding. It was Cody's personal goal to play on Saturday's game, and he had been working hard to get on the court.

"Ok," Arwin started "I don't know what your doing, but keep on doing it" he said during a water break, making Cody realize he had been spasing out for half of practice.

'I gotta get ready for this game' Cody thought. Forget the headache. Game think Game.

"Back on the court" Arwin yelled "Practice ends in 30 minutes. 29 minutes, 59 seconds, 29 minutes 58 seconds..."

Back on the Cody was doing great for once. He was bounding down the court, sprinting to the ball, wiping the court with anyone in the way.

"Zack, gimme the ball, gimme the ball!"

"here, take it"

"score!"

"Cody, you're doing great today!" Max yelled. "keep this up, and you'll be able to play on Saturday"

"I hope so" Cody said.

"Nooooo!" a yell from Mr. Mosbey interrupted the silence. "DO NOT RUN IN MY LOBBY!"

"were not running, were exercising!" Zack said.

"yeah" Cody coughed "we gotta practice for basketball in two days"

"basketball or no basketball, this hotel has been standing for 52 years. Don't break it" Mr. Mosbey snarled at the twins.

"Right. Got it." Zack said. while Cody started coughing again.

"Yeah. we'll go run around by the pool" Cody said, while covering his mouth, coughing slightly.

"Mhmm" Mosbey looked down at them. "Just go. Now" The twins ran off, Cody still coughing slightly. Mr. Mosbey noticed this.

"HALT! Cody Martin come back here!"

"uh oh. your busted!" Zack ran off, without turning back for a minute.

"Yes Mr.Mosbey?" Cody asked.

"Please, do not cough in my hotel. i don't need precious customers getting sick! it is ruining my business! get something for that cough from Maddie. On me" Mr. Mosbey smiled. Apparently that was his way of showing concern for the small, blonde twin. Cody walked towards Maddie at the candy counter slowly, his head and throat still hurting a little from coughing.

"Shall I get your usual? Snickers, Mars Bar, M&Ms, Look, Rocky Road, Economy sized Gummy Bears, and Gum?" Maddie asked.

"Nah" Cody said hurting his little voice. "Do you have anything for a cough" he asked, and starting to cough a little again.

"Yes. You aren't getting sick are you" Maddie didn't want Cody to get sick before a basketball game, as she was supporting him in her 'Smart People Can't Play Sports So Ban PE' campaigning.

"No, I'm not, are you, because I'm not. I'm feeling great" a sure fire lie. Cody always rambled on when he was lying. Cody started to cough again too. Another sign he's sick, Maddie thought

"here, drink some water. It'll help you"

"Thanks" Cody replied as he drank "Oh yeah, don't tell mom I'm getting sick. She doesn't need to know" Of course Carey Martin DID as a matter of fact need to know, but Cody wasn't going to tell her.

"sure" Maddie replied. Cody went upstairs coughing into the suite.

"How was it with Moseby" Zack asked "Did he find out about the lamp we broke?"

"Not yet, but he will. He didn't want me getting guests sick"

"Well are you sick?" Zack asked. He walked to the couch Cody was on and felt his temperature, and Cody started to cough a little.

"Your a bit warm" Zack said

"Its just hot in here" Cody replied

"Oh yeah. Yup. The Air Conditioner is sure making it hot" Zack said sarcasticly, while Cody kept coughing. Zack tried to rub his back and help him, and Cody's coughs started to slow.

"You just lie down, Ok Cody" Zack said.

"Cody?" he was already asleep

i like review. I continue when I get. So just do it. For Cody
