Biography[]
Melba Dill co-formed Sweet Gene and the Risky Fixin's with Steven Rootbeer and Gene in the 1990s. Melba Dill was secretly in love with Steven Rootbeer at the time, but fell out of love when he and Gene blew their band's money on wine and trampolines. The band continued for years, winning awards and admiration, until Melba Dill left the band due to their poor spending habits. The band subsequently broke up, and Melba moved to the Central Park Pond.
Before Gene came to visit, Melba had noted a "raccoon was sniffing around these parts". This is assumed to be the Raccoon that Baby Brandon possesses.
When Gene and Steven Rootbeer came to visit, Melba was furious at them for thinking they "had the nerve" to show up. She ranted at them for their poor spending habits and for "letting the music get away from [them]". She also revealed that she had been previously in love with Steven Rootbeer "and his mustache". However, she was convinced to reform the band by Gene, who was "like a brother" to her, on the condition that it would be their last performance.
Later, she traveled with Future Brandon, Dan, Rebecca, Gene, and Steven Rootbeer on Conductor Craig's train to Gene's sister, Gebra's, wedding. The group later played a game, Fun Facts About Gene, and most notably learned that Rebecca had dreamed of Gene every night of her life, even before she knew him. Melba's fun fact was that Gene was "french fries but also a poet".
At the wedding, Gene introduced the rest of the Wedding Guests to the Risky Fixin's. Pam and Baby Brandon, then crashing the wedding, revealed that most of the Wedding Guests, including Steven Rootbeer and Melba Dill, were Pam's own witch holograms. Pam also revealed that the wedding venue was a hologram as well, and that they were actually on top of a rickety bridge above a volcano. However, Maizey, interrupting Pam's speech, convinced the Sausage Priest to marry her and Gebra, even though they were both aware they were holograms. Maizey also got the Risky Fixin's to play a song, "Relish Life". Melba Dill was killed by Baby Brandon when he launched all of the Wedding Guests into the lava. Only Maizey, Gene, and Mike Soup survived.
