Picture this: back-to-back episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel for over twelve hours; raffles, games and prizes; a miniature diorama of The Magic Box, authentically detailed and ready to be auctioned off.

Sound like an outrageously fun event? To me, too, but it gets even better. All of the money raised at the Slay-a-thon, an annual event in Chicago, goes to the Make a Wish Foundation, to help sick kids live their dreams while they still can.

You know what I say about it, but what would the Scooby Gang say about the painstakingly detailed diorama of The Magic Box?

Giles: Why, look at that miniature diorama of my magic shoppe; it's so authentic. Brilliant, simply brilliant!
Willow: Miss Kitty Fantastico could do her own spells in that itty, bitty Magic Box. Awwwww....
Xander: The Magic Box! Who shrunk The Magic Box? Demons!
Buffy: Ooooo... teeny tiny! And pretty!
Anya: Great. Now how does this make me any money?
Oz: Cool. Definitely on the smallish side.
