When shopping for their favorite star's new CD, Mink and her friends accidentally get a hold of Wanna-Be, a computer program from the future that allows a user to become the person he or she always wanted to be. Thinking that it will just make a computer version of herself, Mink's friends attempt to create a cyber idol of her. To their surprise, though, Mink actually becomes a star, and everyone sees her on live television. But, using software from the future is a serious crime. The girls decide never to use it again, but when one of the friend's brothers tells them that his company will be crushed unless he finds the mysterious girl whom everyone instantly fell in love with, Mink must make a decision. One of Mink's friends programs a new function into the software, and soon Mink is able to leave a copy of her schoolgirl self in the classroom while she pursues her dreams of stardom as Cyber Idol Mink.
