Today was one of those special days. A day of specialnicity. This was a day that I -- yes, I -- discovered an entirely new restroom.

Walking out of my last class (which met in the library rather than our usual classroom) I did a double-take. There before me was a bright, immaculate drinking fountain. Now, typically this of its self would be reason enough to rejoice.

But not today.

Think of it as a rainbow at the end of my pot of gold. For, within perfect proximity was a facility with pots made of just that.

GOLD.

The men's room drew me in. I couldn't stop, nor did I want to. I hovered past the fountain with with the warm breeze blowing against my cheeks. At first glance I thought that the band of gnomes would flee if they saw me, but then she looked up. With fire in her eyes she lurched backward as skittles exploded from her naval. The commotion alerted the rest. More and more eyes began to stray in my direction. I stood motionless, unsure of my next move. A sudden eruption of green, yellow, red, orange, and blue spewed with torrential fury in my direction. Lights flickered, the floor trembled, and tile fell from the walls.

And then...

Silence.

The entire band had vanished without a trace. Nothing but a potty house full of luscious and savory skittle candies.

And when I got home we had pizza!
