I would replace the words completely. i.e. replace "OneTwo" with "OneTwoThree". One could also replace "One" with "OneTwo" or "Three" with "TwoThree". But these things depend on the overall context.

as Kloschüssel said, it depends on context.
One way of accomplishing this might be:
Code:sed 's;\(^One\)\(Three\)$;\1Two\2;' YOUR_FILE
