Short Short: Salad Bus

"Ahem. Via convenience store, bound for the dining table. Passengers, please proceed to platform 3."
The green body of the bus had "Salad Bus" written in white. It was a bus exclusively for salads.
"Passengers, please state your name."
The driver said in front of the bus entrance. A small bowl rushed over.
"I am Green Salad."
"Yes. Green Salad. Go ahead."
The driver took a note on a clipboard.
"Next, please."
"I am Potato Salad."
"Potato Salad. Next, please."
"I am Macaroni Salad."
"Huh? Wait."
The driver stopped Macaroni Salad.
"You, don't you have any vegetables in you?"
Macaroni Salad looked offended.
"Even though my name is salad?"
"That may be, but..."
Macaroni Salad boarded the bus without permission.
"I am Salad-flavored rice cracker!"
The rice cracker said loudly. The driver was bewildered. The bus started moving on its own. The Macaroni Salad from earlier was in the driver's seat. The driver screamed. The bus drove away heartlessly.
"...I quit. This bus company."
The driver muttered with teary eyes.
"I'm leaving the salad business."

I have reached an agreement with Tarahakani-san regarding the publication of this work in the 410-character Weekly Short Short ~First Anniversary~ to be published on Amazon Kindle.

I am participating in Tarahakani-san's casual project, "Weekly Short Short note."
This week's themes are "Salad" and "Bus."
