Newt's story in Aliens-before during and after the film (in my version Alien 3 does not happen. Thank god for that)
Before her parents found the alien ship
On the planet LV-426, Ann and Russ Jordan were having another argument. Newt could hear them from two rooms away. She hated them arguing especially when it was about her and her brother
'Why the hell should we keep the brats here.' Shouted Russ his face spitting with anger.
'Why WHY should we keep them' came the same argument from Ann yelling to the top of her voice. 'BEACAUSE IF WE DON'T AND SEND THEM TO EARTH THEN WE WILL LOSE THE MONEY WE WERE PROMISED.
Newt looked at her brother Timmy who looked back at her with the same sad look of desperation in his face.
Russ Jordan was pleading with his wife now
'We were so happy just the two of us. Then we had to have kids. The boy Tim isn't so bad but the girl'.
Newt tried watching the TV trying to block out what her father was about to say.
'The girl is stupid and lazy and …. Weird. She wants us to call her Newt instead of Rebecca'.
Tears poured Newt's face as her brother grabbed her hand and looked at her trying to cheer her up but nothing could take her pain away. The argument was stopped any way by a knock on the door. Timmy got up and answered the door. Stood there was an important member of the staff who worked in the complex. Russ and Ann quickly came through. The staff member was brief and assertive
'Mr. Jordan we need you and your family to go out to explore a grid reference that we have orders to look at. Take as much time as you need out there but we need out there now.'
Ann looked at her husband and then told her kids
'Well you heard him-get moving' and Newt and Timmy were pushed through the door outside.
