"Surprise!"
It's hard to plan a surprise party for someone who could read your mind anytime she wanted to. Not that Jean would do that... unless she thought something were wrong and no one was telling her about it. Which, of course, would be what would happen, since most the students had trouble keep their own secrets, let alone everyone else's.
Scott knew that, so when Jean's birthday came sneaking up on them, he went straight to their mentor. Only the Professor could ensure it stayed a secret.
After weeks of planning, Scott led Jean into the common room under the pretext of being alone.
The lights were low, and when Scott said the signal-words (I love you, Jeanie)--they came up to the sound of a roaring "SURPRISE!"
