About 3:40pm just as Buffy,Willow,and Lara were finishing their 
workout session down in the gym Pru,Paige,Piper,Tobias,and Leo 
appeared in the middle of the living room.Reacting on instinct Xander 
and Oz jumped to their feet and started to charge them.Leo 
unfortunately was directly in their path since both of them had been 
playing poker.Before Leo knew it he was tackled and pinned to the 
ground in such a way that he would break his own arms if he tried to 
resist.Pru looked over at Piper and she said i told you we should 
have called first.Oz looked up at them and he recognized them 
immedietly.Paige said Xander will you and Oz please let Leo up he is 
with us.Oz said let him go its Paige,her sisters,and Tobias.Xander 
let go of Leo and then backed away so that he could get up.When Leo 
got to his feet he said I'm sorry about us jumping you like that but 
we dont ussually get people popping in here at least not the friendly 
kind.Leo smiled and he said i understand and in your shoes i would 
have done the same thing.

Paige said Xander do you or Oz know where Giles is he wanted to see 
us today from what i was told.Oz said Giles is outside washing his 
new car that we bought him for christmas.Xander said why dont you 
guys make yourselves comfortable and I'll go tell him your here.Paige 
said that would be great because we are exhausted from cooking and 
cleaning as well as stuffed from what we ate.Paige,Piper,Pru,Leo,and 
Tobias sat down on the sofa or in the recliners that were spread out 
around the living room.

When Xander told Giles that the Halliwell sisters,Tobias,and some 
man named Leo were in the living room he was told to go find Lara and 
tell her to come to the living room as soon as she could.Xander asked 
where is Lara by the way.Giles said she is probably still with Buffy 
and Willow down in the gym working out.

Xander ran down to the gym but when he got there he saw that it was 
empty.Xander was about to head back upstairs when he heard someone 
singing.Xander followed the sound down the hallway but stopped when 
he reached the women's locker room.Xander banged on the wall and he 
said hello in there is Lara Croft in there.A second later Buffy said 
yes she is.Xander said Lara as soon as your able Giles would like you 
to go to the living room.Lara said ok I'll be there in a couple 
minutes.

When Giles walked into the living room he said hello to Paige,Pru,
Piper,and Tobias.Paige stood up and she said Giles this is Leo he is 
the whitelighter that was assigned to us.Giles was surprised and he 
said this is a surprise i wasnt aware that you had a guardian angel 
watching over you.Piper said we thought it best that we keep it a 
secret as long as possible but recent events have made it common 
knowledge.Pru said Giles can you tell us why you wanted us to come 
down here.Giles said i wanted you to come down here so that i could 
give you a book that was found a little under a month ago.Leo sat up 
and he said a book or books.Giles said just one book the other books 
i have other plans for.Piper looked over at Leo and she said Leo 
something tells me you know about the books that Giles has.Leo said i 
was informed of them this morning right after i arrived at your 
home.Paige said Giles can we see the book and Giles said yes but we 
need to wait for the young woman you found the books to arrive.Piper 
said how long will it take her to get here.Giles said it should only 
take a few minutes she is downstairs working out with Buffy and 
Willow.

A minute later Lara walked into the living room and she was carrying 
her attache case.Lara walked up to Giles and she said Giles will you 
please do the introductions.Giles said Lara this is Pru,Paige,and 
Piper Halliwell and their friends Tobias and Leo.Giles said ladies 
and gentlemen this is Lara Croft.Pru said the Lara Croft and Lara 
said the one and only at least the only one i know of.Pru said i have 
seen some of the pieces you have discovered and i must say that it is 
an honor to get to meet you.Paige said thank you.

Giles said Lara these are the people i want to entrust Notradamus's 
tome to.Pru,Paige,and Piper were all shocked at hearing this.Pru said 
but Notradamus took his tome with him when he went into seclusion 
prior to when he was supposed to die.Lara said yes but i stumbled 
upon it along with some other books in some ruins in Italy.Piper said 
may we see it and Lara said of course.Lara opened up her attache case 
and she took Notradamus's Tome out of it.Lara passed it over to Piper 
who opened it up and started looking at it.Pru said i cant believe it 
is in such perfect shape especially after all this time.Giles said 
according to Willow their is an enchantment on the book that keeps it 
in mint codition.

Leo said Mr.Giles i need to ask you what you plan to do with the 
other books.Giles said well Numei's book i am going to turn over to 
the legacy for safekeeping.Leo nodded his head and then said what 
about the books Merlin wrote.Giles said well those books have a 
binding enchantment on them which only Merlin or his heir could open 
so i am planning on letting the Illuminati get their hands on them so 
that they will leave Lara alone.Leo said i wish i could allow that to 
happen but i cant.Lara looked at him and she said who the hell do you 
think you are.Giles said calm down Lara lets hear him out i am sure 
he has a good reason for saying what he did.Leo said yes i do and the 
reason is because the Illuminati know enough about the magic used in 
Merlin's time to have a good chance at breaking the binding.Lara said 
but then what can we do with them its not safe for me to keep them 
and they will assume they are here if i dont leave with them.Leo said 
I will take the books if you dont mind and there is no way that 
anyone unworthy will ever get their hands on them again.Lara said how 
can you be so sure of that.Giles said Lara just take his word for it 
you see Leo is a whitelighter.Lara looked at Giles and said white 
lighter and yes whitelighter.Lara caught on and she said i dont 
believe it.Leo said its true and then he teleported himself across 
the living room in the blink of an eye.Lara reopened the attache case 
and she took out the three books that merlin had written.
