Erinick

}} Erinick is the het ship between Erika and King Dominick from the Barbie fandom.

Canon
Dominick and Erika met when Dominick was engaged to Annelise, but she had been kidnapped and Erika had to impersonate her. Dominick found out that Annelise was an impostor when Erika had gotten out of the shower and she didn't have her wig on.

The next day, Erika went to meet Dominick, though afraid of being found out for her clumsiness. First she greeted him awkwardly, and then King Dominick told her to refer to him as simply "Dominick" and she almost accidentally told him her name is Erika. Dominick confessed to "Annelise" that at first he was disguised as a page because he wanted the two to meet in person without an engagement ceremony. Erika was able to identify with Dominick, since she was precisely posing as someone else without showing who she really is.

Later Queen Genevieve offered Dominick to play the piano and the latter offered "Annelise" to sing for him, saying that he thought he would have a beautiful voice. The two sang a song together, expressing their love for each other and how they both want to be loved for who they are. At the end of the day, Dominick told "Annelise" that he loved her for how sincere she was, and kissed her hand goodbye. Erika was worried about falling in love with the king when Annelise was missing and she was the one who had to marry him.

The day before they were married, Dominick gave "Annelise" a wedding ring and they were about to kiss, until Preminger arrived to reveal that the princess was an impostor. Preminger lied that Erika had conspired with Julian to marry Dominick and take over the kingdom, but Dominick didn't believe it. Erika tried to explain that she was pretending to be the princess, just to save her from Preminger. Dominick, believing what Eika said, decided to go save her in disguise.

When Erika was trying to escape from the castle, Dominick took her disguised as a knight saying that he had to take her to the castle by order of the queen. As Erika was trying to get free of him, Dominick revealed that it's him and Erika joked that she loves to dress up.

When it was all over, Erika had already paid her debts thanks to Annelise and was ready to be a singer and travel the world, but Dominick still wanted to be with her. He gave her a ring made for her in case she wanted to come back and marry him. While Erika was traveling over the world, she keep thinking on what Dominick told her, and decided to marry him at the end. They finally got married along with Annelise and Julian.
