Retrieve random data

Question

Is it possible to retrieve 2 random data from this list? Every time when I execute the T-sql code, it always should retrieve 2 row with different data.

CREATE TABLE Data
(   
    StartTime VARCHAR(5), 
    EndTime VARCHAR(5), 
)   
GO

INSERT INTO Data(StartTime,EndTime)   
SELECT '10:00','12:00' UNION ALL
SELECT '13:30','16:00' UNION ALL
SELECT '14:00','15:00' UNION ALL
GO
