( Years ago, when Meryl is like nine or ten years old )
Meryl was in her basement and she was making what looked like some type of robot, when Rand Ridley fell out of the vent in her ceiling.
Rand: Ow! ( Gets up ) Alright, where is J.R keeping the thin- ( sees Meryl ) Oh.
Meryl: Uh.... Okay, don't mind me I'm just going to find my death ray prototype and shot you with it, mister, because you are currently trespassing.
Meryl then walked to where her death ray prototype was, it was on a high shelf that was out of her reach, J.R had placed the ray there after Meryl tried to test it on him and missed the shot.
Meryl: ( tries to jump to it ) Nyeh! Nyeh! Curse my tiny height! ( Throws a plastic chair that was next to her at the wall, inches away from Rand )
Rand: Classic Ridley rage issues. You're definitely my kid.
Meryl: ( looks at Rand ) Huh? Repeat that?
Rand: Hey kid, name's Rand Ridley, aka your dad.
Meryl: Aka the Rand Ridley that J.R tried to keep me a secret from? That Rand Ridley?
Rand: Yeah. Me and your Uncle J.R-
Meryl: ( blankly with a serious expression: ) J.R is way too stupid and probably crazy for me to classify him or see him as a uncle.
Rand: Fair point. Me and him had a little talk, and he's okay with me visiting you as long as none of us mention it to him or in the presence of other people.
Meryl: So basically like J.R's visits, but in person instead of him being in a screen.
Rand: Yeah, like that. Whatcha making? ( Points to Meryl's robot )
Meryl went back to her robot and continues working on it.
Meryl: Just a robot I've been working on out of boredom. It's made out of alarm clocks and stuff that I took from J.R without him noticing.
Rand: Not bad, what's the power source?
Meryl: Something that will blow this whole building to bits within a hundred miles radius.
Rand: That's my girl.
( A few years later, Meryl's a teen now, during Season 1 )
Meryl was reading a book about advanced science when she heard Rand's voice come from the vent.
Rand: ( off-screen: ) Heads up, Cupcake! Dad's coming down!
Meryl chuckled and snapped her fingers, making a cushion appear as Rand fell out of the vent. Rand landed on the pillow and he was holding a 1.25 liter bottle of soda.
Rand: ( to Meryl: ) Happy Meeting Day! I got your favorite soda, Mountain Lighting.
Meryl: ( chuckles ) You have got to find another way in the basement. At some point, you are going to hurt yourself from falling out of the vent.
Rand: ( stands up ) It would be worth it to spend time with my favorite ginger daughter.
Meryl: Hehe. Dad, I'm your only ginger daughter.
Rand: That's the point, Cupcake.
Meryl: Hey Dad, I learned something new.
Meryl snaps her fingers and a bottle of vodka appears out of nowhere in the air and she caught it before it could fall to the ground.
Meryl: Surprise!
Rand: You need to stop being the best daughter a father can ask for.
Meryl: I make no such promises, Dad.
