Canterlot was under siege. Manticores, dragons, and other dark creatures roamed, terrorizing the pony populace. Even Princess Celestia was unable to stop them. All hope was lost. But a flash of light appeared on the horizon, lighting up the entire city. When the light cleared, who should appear? Two great pegasi warriors that's who!

One was Black as midnight, with neon-blue hair and bright yellow eyes with a single white cloud for a cutie mark. The other was white as snow, with golden spiked hair and eyes the same color as his brother and a lightning bolt as his cutie mark . With a great bellow they shouted to the sky. 
"Never fear! Thunder and Lightning are here!".

The citizens of Canterlot cheered their coming.

The monsters were not impressed however. A great dragon flew over to the heroic duo, absolute confidence on his face. 

"You ants seek to challenge us? Ill crush you under my claws and pick my teeth with your bones!" the beast roared, breathing fire into the sky. The black Pegasus looked up at the dragon." 

"Why don't you just use dental floss? You wouldn't have to hurt anypony then."  He said, his face a mask of heroicness.

"Enough talk, Thunder, let's fight!" the white one cried.

With no more hesitation, Lightning raised his hooves and shot forth lightning, instantly vaporizing the dragon. The rest of the monsters charged forth at the heroes, roaring their fury. Thunder flew forth and clopped his hooves together, sending a sonic boom right into the monsters, sending many of them flying.

Between the two of them, the heroes zapped and blasted the monsters until they were in a humiliating retreat. The ponies cheered for the brothers, glee upon their faces. 
"You have saved Canterlot from certain demise and are the most attractive stallions I've ever seen. How can I repay you for your service?" asked Princess Celestia, who flew up to meet the two saviors. 

"there is no charge for heroicness." Said Thunder. "Or attractiveness." Added Lightning. They were soon surrounded by the cheering crowd. 

"Three cheers for Thunder and Lightning! Hip hip Brrinng! Hip hip Brrinng! Hip hip Brrriinnngggg!"

Thunder awoke with a start as his alarm clock blared at him. With a sigh of annoyance, he shut it off and struggled out of bed. In another room Lightning awoke much the same way, except he flew up and bashed his head against the ceiling in his shock. Rubbing his head and groaning, Lightning threw his alarm clock out the window and went towards the door. He opened it to find himself face to face with his twin brother.

"The dream again?" Thunder asked. 

"Yeah, you too?" Lightning replied. 

Thunder nodded, noticing the steadily growing bump on Lightning's head. 

"You think it's weird we share the same dreams?" Lightning asked. 

"Well, we're twins after all." replied Thunder. 

And so began another day for Thunder and Lightning.
