The Salvatore School's library was abuzz with excitement as the Supersquad gathered around a large table. It was a rare moment of downtime, and Josie and Lizzie Saltzman had been engaged in a lighthearted debate with Hope Mikaelson and MG about who knew their partner better.

"You're so wrong, Hope," Lizzie said, crossing her arms with a playful smirk. "Josie and I know you two better than you know each other."

Hope raised an eyebrow, matching Lizzie's confident stance. "Oh really? You think you and Josie can outdo MG and me? That's cute."

Josie grinned, loving the competitive spark in Hope's eyes. "We'll see about that, Hope. Lizzie and I have got this in the bag."

Kaleb, who had been watching the banter unfold, suddenly had an idea. "Why don't we settle this with a game? A little quiz to see which team really knows the other better."

MG's eyes lit up. "I'm down for that. What do you think, Hope?"

Hope smiled and nodded. "I'm in. What about you, love?"

Josie exchanged a glance with Lizzie, who nodded eagerly. "Let's do it."

Kaleb clapped his hands, taking charge. "Alright, here's how it's gonna work. I'll ask each team a series of questions about their partners. The team that answers the most questions correctly wins. The losing team has to do whatever the winning team says for one whole day."

Everyone agreed to the terms, and Kaleb quickly began jotting down questions on a notepad. The atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation as he readied the first question.

Round 1: Favorite Things

Kaleb grinned as he asked the first question to Team Josie and Lizzie. "Alright, Josie, Lizzie—what's MG's favorite movie?"

Josie and Lizzie exchanged looks, their brows furrowing in concentration. After a brief moment, Lizzie answered confidently, "It's The Matrix. He loves the action and the whole chosen one vibe."

Kaleb nodded and turned to MG. "Is she right?"

MG smiled broadly. "Nailed it."

Lizzie gave Josie a high-five. "See? Told you."

Kaleb then turned to Team Hope and MG. "Okay, Hope, MG—what's Josie's favorite comfort food?"

Hope didn't even hesitate. "Mac and cheese, extra cheesy with a sprinkle of pepper on top."

Kaleb raised an eyebrow at Josie. "How'd she do?"

Josie beamed at Hope and winks. "Perfect, as always."

MG leaned back in his chair, pretending to look smug. "This is going to be too easy."

Round 2: Pet Peeves

Kaleb moved on to the next set of questions, turning back to Josie and Lizzie. "What's Hope's biggest pet peeve?"

Josie thought for a second before replying, "When people are late. It drives her crazy."

Kaleb looked at Hope. "True?"

Hope laughed. "Definitely true."

Kaleb nodded, pleased with the match so far. "Alright, Hope and MG—what's Lizzie's biggest pet peeve?"

MG glanced at Hope, who shrugged slightly. MG took a deep breath. "It's when people talk during movies. She likes to be fully immersed."

Lizzie's eyes widened in surprise. "Okay, I'm impressed. That's spot on."

MG winked at her. "I pay attention, Lizzie."

Round 3: Secret Talents

Kaleb's next question had everyone on the edge of their seats. "Josie, Lizzie—what's MG's secret talent?"

Lizzie laughed, shaking her head. "That's easy. He can play the guitar like a rockstar."

Kaleb turned to MG. "Is that your secret talent?"

MG shrugged modestly. "It's one of them."

Hope nudged him playfully. "Show off."

Kaleb then asked, "Hope, MG—what's Josie's secret talent?"

Hope didn't even blink. "She's a great painter. She doesn't show her work often, but it's amazing."

Kaleb smiled. "Josie, confirm?"

Josie blushed slightly. "Yeah, that's true."

Final Round: Most Embarrassing Moments

Kaleb's final questions were the most challenging. "Alright, Josie, Lizzie—what's Hope's most embarrassing moment?"

Josie and Lizzie exchanged a knowing look, and Josie answered, "It was during her first week at the Salvatore School. She tried to use a spell to make a grand entrance, but instead, she tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her face in front of everyone."

Hope groaned, covering her face with her hands. "I'm never going to live that down, am I?"

Kaleb chuckled. "It's legendary, Hope."

He then turned to Hope and MG. "Now, what's Lizzie's most embarrassing moment?"

Hope and MG whispered for a moment before Hope replied, "It was when she accidentally set off the school's sprinkler system during a spell gone wrong, and she ended up drenched in front of the entire student body."

Lizzie winced, clearly remembering the incident. "Yep, that was me. Still can't believe that happened."

The Results:

After tallying up the points, Kaleb grinned at the group. "And the winners are...Josie and Lizzie!"

Josie and Lizzie cheered, hugging each other. "I told you we knew you better!" Lizzie exclaimed.

Hope and MG exchanged good-natured glances, accepting their defeat with a smile.

"Alright, alright," Hope said, raising her hands in surrender. "You won fair and square. What do you want us to do tomorrow?"

Josie and Lizzie huddled together, whispering before Lizzie announced, "You two are going to be our personal butlers for the day. You have to do whatever we say, no complaints."

MG groaned playfully, while Hope shook her head, a smile tugging at her lips. "You're going to enjoy this way too much, aren't you?"

"Absolutely," Josie said, laughing as she looped her arm through Hope's.

Hope leaned in close and whispered, "I'm still proud of how well we did."

Josie smiled, kissing her cheek. "Me too. But just remember, you're making me breakfast in bed tomorrow."

Hope chuckled. "Wouldn't have it any other way."
