(*THIS TAKES PLACE BEFORE DESTINY TAKES OFF*)
* TheRealMe staggers out of the Sereni-Tree, covered in blood and spider-guts. He revs the chainsaw one last time, then shuts it off and drops it at Serenity’s feet. The chainsaw also drips with spider guts and blood. *
Thanks for the use of your chainsaw, Serenity. Uh, you might want to hose it off before using it again.
Oh, Doctor SimonWho! Are you aware that Serenity and Piffle have been trading legs with each other? Apparently, Serenity wanted to try her hand at being taller. Are YOU the one performing these surgeries? And if so, then…
What in the….!
* Distracted, TheRealMe cleans his glasses on a dirty shirt and takes a closer look at the Firefly class ship that has landed close by. *
Hey, that’s Destiny! Now I’m all confused. I thought all the antics aboard Destiny occurred in some alternate reality from the Sereni-Tree. If I went aboard her now, would I find Doctor Me, with CastIronJack, Needy, SafeAt2nd, and Bubbles, or is this the ship from some time before we joined? And worse, if I stepped aboard that ship, would I transform from the super-competent First Officer of Sereni-Tree into that bumbling Doctor Me? Sheesh, Soul, you must think about these paradoxes before you breach dimensions!
* TheRealMe sighs. *
Oh well, good luck to you, Soul, and to everyone going on this mission!
* TheRealMe scrapes off a layer of spider-goo from his arm. *
I think I’ll take PsychicRiver up on his suggestion to go take a dip in that lake.
* It is at that moment that TheRealMe notices SimonWho and ThatWeirdGirl, both posing on either side of him with their own chainsaws. *
Oh, just a minute!
* TheRealMe picks up the chainsaw and dramatically revs it again, inadvertently spraying spider blood and guts over everyone present. *
Ooops! Sorry!

NEEDY! Welcome to the Sereni-Tree!
I'm afraid that I can't tell you how exactly you got here, but I can give you SOME information.
You have found yourself in the continuing story of the clubhouse/treehouse/Sereni-Tree gang, which is currently in its 29th thread.
If you go to the top of this thread, you will find a link to the previous thread, "Sereni-Tree among Dandelions". Near the top of THAT thread is TheRealMe's Guide to the Sereni-Tree".
That should answer most of your questions. There is also the (incomplete) summary/guide I have made to all of the threads. It lists all the threads, but I only have summaries of the first seven.
I suggest that you read at least the Guide and this thread, and you should be caught up enough.

* TheRealMe bows deeply to Mal-licious. *
Mistress! I deeply regret that I have allowed these spiders to disturb you. I shall endeavor to do better next time!

(* ALSO BEFORE THE DESTINY TAKES OFF *)
* Jayne-clone2 strides directly up to Soul, a sniper rifle with a bent scope over one shoulder. *
I’m comin’ too. Fer the rescue mission. ‘Bout time a fella got some action ‘round here that weren’t with a Bride, a Malcomette, or a Yeti!
* Jayne-clone2 looks around, puzzled at the stares he is receiving. *
What are y’all lookin’ at?

From the finish line, an observant eye could see a pair of figures break out of the distant forest. As time passes, the figures approach the Sereni-Tree at great speed, kicking up great volumes of dust behind them. It is a pair of piffleponies racing neck and neck, their riders bouncing unconsciously and precariously on their backs.
First, Prudence, carrying Bride6, pulls ahead. Then Penitence, carrying DroppyMcCool, edges her out. But over the long straight-away, the fact that Prudence is being more careful with her rider starts to tell. Penitence gradually pulls ahead in a definite lead.
Penitence’s hooves cross the finish line first, with Droppy dangling off one side, his shackled hands hooked over the saddle horn. Penitence slows to a walk, sweating and breathing heavily.
Penitence (out of breath, but smug): Third place.
But as soon as Prudence crosses the finish line, she bucks, launching the unconscious Bride6 into a high arc. Bride6’s skull impacts the Red Bell, ringing it loudly. Bride6 falls to the ground, even more unconscious than before.
Prudence walks up to Bride6, where she spits out the four leaf clover, then she continues on to where Penitence stands, dumbfounded.
Prudence (matter-of-factly): Third place for me, Penny. You get last. Rules say you have to ring the bell, dummy! 
Penitence: 
Don’t call me that!
Prudence: C’mon, let’s go congratulate Patience and Ororo, then get some oats!
Penitence: Patience? Ororo? Hmmmm… I’ll be in my stall!

* A few people run up to see to Bride6’s injuries. Zoe-clone3 calls for Doctor SimonWho’s bone-setting kit and mentions something about blunt head trauma. *
* Nearby, DroppyMcCool groans, regaining consciousness on the ground where he has been dumped by Penitence. As he opens his eyes, Droppy notices a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a slinky red dress approach him. She has Asian features with long straight black hair. She drapes a robe over Droppy’s shoulders and smiles teasingly. *
No need for you to have to stay in your “streaking” attire!
* She unlocks Droppy’s shackles. *
There! You have served your sentence and are free to go. Or, you could stay a while… if you like.
* She bats her eyes at Droppy. *
Nice to meet you. I am Bride5.

Hmmm...
Funny hearing that from a guy with a girl's name and a female avatar.
She's not...back, is she?

The last that I knew, the dreaded FemaleReaver was squashed into a fine paste by the index finger of TheGreyJedi's mecha Aegis.
Then again, Rat talked about keeping her remains and cloning her, so anything is possible. She might be in Rat's secret, hidden cryogenics lab.

Hmm..sounds like Needy's got a concussion. Where's Dr. Whom? Didn't he join us on Destiny?
Needy, you sit here-um, keep your knees together please, and I'll go try to find the doctor. Stay put.

*PR rises to the surface and wallows around.*
*He takes a deep breathe and then swims down to the bed of the lake.*
*Finds a nickle.*
*Swims up again, and then climbs out onto the rocks, and keeps climbing*
*Hummms*
