Translation: "les gustaba eclipsarse con ella"

Specifically I'm trying to understand how eclipsarse fits in this. eclipsar means to eclipse, so I'm guessing this is a idiom of some sort.

The full context: Tenía ocho o nueve años cuando las econdidas se convirtieron en su moment favorito: a los chicos vecinos los gustaba eclipsarse con ella y allí, detrás de una tapia o una mata, se toqueteaban, se frotaban.

My translation: She was 8 or 9 when the hidden things became her favorite moment: the neighbor boys liked ??hide in the dark?? with her and there, behind a wall or shrub, fondle her, rub her. (or she fondled them or rubbed them - not sure who the se refers to here.)

LOL, of course, it's the shared action "se". Can't believe I missed that. - lajekahr, Oct 31, 2012

Eclipsarse is a very poetic way of saying to hide. So you are right. This is quite an obscure story, I might add. lol.
