Tale of the Tickling Giant (rewrite)

(I wrote this story back when I was a young teen who was obsessed with MLP, Sonic, and anything Giant related...fast forward a decade later and I still like all three of those things; so I rewrote this story here. Hope y'all find it entertaining.)

This story is slight-soft-horror; but it's not really that scary.

Five friends sat around a campfire one night, regaling stories to one another. After Twilight Sparkle tells the tale of a Giant beast whom he can cast a curse of immense growth upon whomever he tickles; these five friends find themselves having to deal with that very same giant!
Can they outrun their new foe who they have nicknamed "Big Blue?" Or are they doomed to succumb to the Giant's twitchy, tickling clutches?

Also, this rewrite would not be happening without the inspiration from a fellow Deviant named

Go check her out, y'all. Credits for some of the ideas and the inspiration to bring this old tale back to life was all due to Pupygup.
