The girls both end up going back to their original places, and run into each other on the way. When she does, the butler, Vincenzo, grabs her and brings her inside, thinking she was the run-away Alyssa. The story says that the place is haunted, so her friends dare her to ring the doorbell. At the same time, the real Amanda is with some friends near the Callaway house. She asks her to come play football with the other kids and she does. Diane, Amanda's social worker, finds her and thinks she's Amanda. Alyssa finds out about her father's engagement to a not-so-nice lady and ends up running away. Meanwhile, Alyssa is at her family's summer house, which happens to be right across the lake from the camp, which her mother once owned. The children from the home that Amanda stays at end up taking a little vacation by going to Camp Callaway. She is not at all pleased when she finds out her father is going to be remarried. The other girl is the daughter of a rich businessman, whose mother passed away when she was a baby. She wants to be adopted, but by her social worker, who has been there for her and made her feel like someone cares. One is an orphan living in a home for kids, doing her best not to get adopted by some strange family. The two young girls come from much different backgrounds. It Takes Two is about two identical strangers who end up running into each other. From then on, the girls stay switched so that they can help Roger (Alyssa's dad) and Diane (Amanda's wanna-be mom) see each other again and fall in love. The two end up meeting and have a connection. On the day they are supposed to switch back, they leave their social worker and dad riding horses. After they get to talking, switching places is suggested, so that Amanda could scare away Alyssa's new mom-to-be, just like she's done with so many prospective parents of her own. They find it amazing, and weird too, that they could be strangers yet look completely the same.
