AN: I don't own Buffy or MacGyver. Maybe in another dimension, but not here.

"Ah, Mr. MacGyver. I don't believe we've been introduced. I'm Rupert Giles. I wonder if perhaps you could help me with something."
Now….
Mac looked at the man. British, older than him, probably. Mac decided to hear him out.
"Depends on what it is," Mac said simply.
"And interpretation. I came across this…text. I've got it translated, and it seems to be some sort of prophecy. Problem is, from that point, I can't make heads or tails of it," the man, Rupert Giles, said.
"Well…I don't know how much help I can be, but I can take a look at it," Mac said.

"Are you sure this line is translated right?" Mac asked. He was pointing to the line about the "Grounded Phoenix."
"Almost positive. Granted, that particular word has several different meanings, however, grounded seemed to fit the context," Giles said. Mac scowled and read through the text again.
"'Forces of Darkness will threaten the Grounded Phoenix. The Slayer and the Selfless One will…drive them from before them. The Phoenix will ally with the Slayer,'" Mac read. He scowled.
"Most, I can understand. The reference to the Selfless One and the Grounded Phoenix elude me," Giles said. "Do you have…?"
"Maybe. What if it doesn't mean 'Grounded' in the sense that we usually think it to mean?" Mac asked.
"It could be that…but I don't see," Giles admitted. Mac took a piece of paper and began to write.
"Okay, think of it like this. When your grounded in reality, you've got your foundations there. What if in this case, Grounded means Foundation?" Mac asked.
"It still doesn't tell us much," Buffy said as she came in with tea.
"It tells me a lot more than you think," Mac said, worry creeping into his mind. If he was right, then Pete was in danger.
AN: Please, review. Reviews makes my muse happy, makes her want to work. Constructive criticism welcome.This isn't as good as I would like, but it should get better further along in the story.
